What do the 12 days of Christmas mean?
These 12 days are the ones that give a name to the famous Christmas song The Twelve Days of Christmas, which presumably has roots in a French pun where you had to repeat a list of things (in this case gifts), without making a mistake and in which the list was increased in each round.
Who came up with the name Christmas?
Among them, the motion of Pope Julius I in 350 to establish Christmas on December 25 is considered the most decisive. This was decreed 4 years later by Pope Liberius.
When do you say Merry Christmas on the 24th or the 25th?
Every year for approximately 2,000 years Christmas Eve has been celebrated on the night of December 24, and Christmas on December 25.
