Twelfth Night or Twelfth Night

January 5, 2026

celebrate Twelfth Night, better known as Twelfth Night, which takes place on the last night of the twelve days of Christmas. A popular Twelfth Night tradition was to have a bean and a pea hidden in a Twelfth Night cake; the “man who finds the bean in his slice of cake becomes king for the night while the lady who finds a pea in her slice of cake becomes queen for the night”. Following this selection, Twelfth Night evenings would continue and include the singing of Christmas carols, as well as feasting. #calendar #mythology #myth #legend #twelfthnight #Christianity
