Tradition says that the twelfth day
from Christmas day was remarkable for
having been that upon which the visit
of the Mugi took place, upon which
Christ was baptized, the water at Cana
turned into wine and the FIVE thousand
fed. For 800 years it was kept by east
ern Christians as the day upon which
Christ was born, and among ourselves it
was long observed with great festivities.
We are told that in the reign of King
Alfred n law was passed 'by virtue Of
which the twelve days after the nativity
OF Our Saviour were made festivals
The last day was accounted the great
est Of the twelve, and especially given
up to Christmas gambols" and the Wis
iting Of friends. The custom seems long
TO have continued in force, for in the
Sixteenth century Twelfth day seems to
have been kept with as much zeal as
Christmas. The royal family at court
led the way, the universities and the inns
OF court following them in the extent OF
their festivities. At the temple the
whole twelve days were kept with great
care, and many Of the country gentle
men followed the same custom. In some
parts Of England the very poorest peo-
plo contriyed TO keep the twelve days
with such good cheer for themselves and
their neighbors as their means would
allow. -Exchanke.
