When Christmas Really Ended: Twelfth Night & Epiphany in Tudor England
And Twelfth Night was its final, glittering crescendo.
In this final episode of my Tudor Advent and Christmas series, I ...explore how Tudor people marked the end of Christmas with feasting, music, disguisings, misrule, and the famous Twelfth Night cake, complete with a hidden bean or pea to crown a King (or Lord of Misrule) for the night.
I also explain:
When Twelfth Night actually was — the 5th or the 6th of January
Why Epiphany mattered both socially and spiritually
How Tudor court celebrations turned halls into living theatre
And how these traditions still survive today, including here in Spain with the Roscón de Reyes
Twelfth Night mattered because it ended Christmas properly, rather than Christmas just fading away.
If you’ve missed earlier episodes, do watch “The Real Twelve Days of Christmas”, where I explain how the Tudors celebrated the entire festive season:

Do you celebrate Epiphany or Twelfth Night today? I’d love to hear your traditions in the comments.
