The Epiphany is Jan. 6 the last of the the twelve days of Christmas. It symbolizes the Wise men bringing gifts to the Christ Child. In some more predominately Catholic countries it is the day to give and receive presents over Dec. 25.

Since you're in R&S, the gentleman, 'onewhosubmits' has given you the correct answer.
There are those who believe that the "Twelve Days of Christmas" starts with the Epiphany, therefore, starting with Christmas Day, the Epiphany begins the journey of the Magi, and ends twelve days later.
