Twelve Holy Days

Twelve Holy Days is the holy period, from December 26 to January 6, in the Esoteric Christian interpretation of the Christmas season.
The night between the 24th and 25th of December is considered to be the most "Holy Night", when the Sun (the "Light of the World") commences its journey from the south to the north. On the night when he commences his northward journey the zodiacal sign virgo, the celestial virgin (the "Queen of Heaven"), stands upon the eastern horizon at midnight (thus he is "born of a virgin" without other intermediary, hence, "immaculately conceived.") .
On December 25 the Christ enters the heart of Earth and the planet is swept by powerful solstitial radiations, becoming enveloped by the light of the archangelic Christ and therefore Christmas is considered the most "Holy Day" of the year. From December 26 to January 6 the twelve zodiacal hierarquies work upon the Earth and its life forms, along with the Christ light which continues throughout the twelve holy days. The night of January 6 is regarded as the Twelfth Night, the time when the "Rite of Baptism" was performed in early Christianity. This period of twelve-day interval, between Christmas and Twelfth Night, is regarded as the spiritual heart of the year to follow and is termed the year's "Holy of Holies" .
