January 5th or twelfth night marks the climax of the Christmas season.
The twelve days of Christmas are counted from December 25th until twelfth night.
The season of Christmas begins with the first Sunday of Advent and concludes with Epiphany.
The period between christmas day and epiphany is referred to as Christmastide.
Epiphany usually shares the white and gold, colors of Christmas denoting celebration, newness, and hope, but epiphany has a much more significant meaning to the Christians as it marks the time when the Magi were the first gentiles to acknowledge Jesus as "king" and this act of worship by the Magi, was a message to the world that Jesus came for all people, of all nations, of all races, and of all faiths.
