Epiphany- 12 days of Christmas



Today on the feast of Epiphany. The final days of 12 days of celebration . Our Lord was shown to wider circle,   especially visiting of the wise men.
      Another good day for a party. Shakespeare wrote a play in honor of Twelfth Night. The main things of the festa is fun and joy- Christ with us among  men.

    Some of the  things can bé done on this day

Leaving wise men close the the stable. Giving little gifts to children no matter big or small, value it reminder of wise men bringing gifts.


Enjoy and sing- We three kings all these 12 days.

Party with diferents foods. Some countries strip Christmas decors on this day.

Making a lapbook with children, go through significance of it
. True love- Jesús on cross...


Another beautiful thing is to make a French- Galette du Rois with a small figure of King  in it. Whoever get  the figure will be king for the eve.

Last but not the least is The house blessings. The blessed chalk is suec to wrote the inicials of wise men with the year. We tend to follow this every year.
