Today is January 6, 2020. It is Epiphany, 3 Kings Day, 12th Night, the end of the Christmas season. While I have been a somewhat familiar with the customs regarding the celebration of this holiday in Hispanic cultures, I did not know that it is also celebrated in England. The 12th Night celebration across the pond includes theatergoing. This tradition began with the first showing of William Shakespeare's 12th Night on the 6th of January in either 1601 or 1602. It was written as a 12th Night entertainment for the close of the Christmas season.
The Brits also celebrate this feast day with a delicious fruit cake.
Cake and a trip to the theater. Sounds like great fun to me! 😀
Happy 3 Kings Day!
