What is Twelfth Night?

Twelfth Night, the evening of January 5, marks the end of the twelve days of Christmas and the eve of Epiphany. In England it was once a night of feasting and role reversal, with a Twelfth Cake hiding a bean, and whoever found it became king of the revels, a custom that inspired the title of Shakespeare's comedy Twelfth Night. Many people still take down their Christmas decorations by this date for luck, and in cider country orchards are wassailed with songs to bless the coming harvest.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
