10th Saint of Christmas

1/03/2023 12:00:00 AM

On the tenth day of Christmas, we celebrate the ... Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus.
This remembers when Jesus was officially 'named' in the Jewish Temple. It's celebrated by different churches on a wide number of different dates!

During the Christmas season, the Roman Rite celebrates the optional memorial of the Holy Name of Jesus on January 3. This feast is placed roughly a week after Christmas to recall the circumcision of Jesus. In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus receives his nameat the time of his circumcision, eight days after his birth.

How To Celebrate the 12 Days of Saints

   Christian 12 Days Notes:
  • The time before Christmas is Advent. The 12 Days after Christmas celebrate a feast day for a Saint and/or have different celebrations:
  • Twelfth Night (also known as Epiphany Eve) is a Christian festival on the last night of the Twelve Days of Christmas, marking the coming of the Epiphany. Different traditions mark the date of Twelfth Night as either 5 January or 6 January, depending on whether the counting begins on Christmas Day or 26 December.
  • The 12 days of Christmas is the period in Christian theology that marks the span between the birth of Christ and the coming of the Magi, the three wise men. It begins on December 25 (Christmas) and runs through January 6 (the Epiphany, sometimes also called Three Kings' Day).
