Twelfthday - Kings´ Day

Twelfth Night is celebrated annually on January 6th. As a rule, Epiphany is already celebrated in the evening from January 5th to 6th, that is, on the eve of Epiphany.

It is an important commemorative date, but it is not a holiday. This day is also known as the Feast of the Epiphany, which commemorates the manifestation of Jesus to men as the Son of God.
Twelfth Night Traditions in Portugal

This Catholic celebration is associated with the Christmas tradition, which says that three wise men from the East visited the Baby Jesus on the night of January 5th to 6th, after being guided by a star.

The Three Kings were called Belchior, Baltazar and Gaspar, and they brought gold, incense and myrrh as a gift to the Infant Jesus.

Tradition dictates that on this day the family gets together again to celebrate the end of the Christmas festivities. The Twelfth Night foods are: cod with boiled potatoes, bolo-rei, sponge cake, French toast, dreams, among other Christmas delicacies.

It is also the day on which the "Janeiras" are sung, which starts after Christmas and continues until Epiphany.

The day after Twelfth Night, families begin removing the Christmas ornaments that decorate homes during the Christmas season.
