Twelve Days of Christmas

The Twelve Days of Christmas, also known as Twelvetide, is a festive Christian season to celebrate the nativity of Jesus. In most Western Church traditions Christmas Day is the First Day of Christmas and the Twelve Days are 25 December – 5 January. For many Christian denominations, such as the Anglican Church and Lutheran Church, the Twelve Days period is the same as Christmastide;〔 for others, such as the Catholic Church, Christmastide lasts a little longer;〔(''Universal Norms on the Liturgical Year'', 33 )〕 the Twelve Days are different from the Octave of Christmas, which is the eight-day period from Christmas Day until 1 January. In Anglicanism, the term "Twelve Days of Christmas" is used liturgically in the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, having its own responsory in the ''Book of Common Prayer'' for Matins.
==Eastern Christianity==
Since Armenian Apostolic and Armenian Catholic Christians celebrate the birth and the baptism of Christ on the same day, they do not have a series of twelve days between a Christmas feast and an Epiphany feast.
The Oriental Orthodox, other than the Armenians, and the Eastern Orthodox, as well as the Eastern Catholics who follow the same traditions, do have the twelve-day interval between the two feasts. If they use the Julian calendar, they have Christmas on what is for them 25 December but for others 7 January, and they have Epiphany on what for them is 6 January but for others 19 January.
