What are the twelve days of Christmas?

We all know the popular Christmas song, ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’, with its ‘partridge in a pear tree’ and ‘Five gold rings!’, but what sustainable facts relate to these twelve days?

The original twelve days of Christmas were a series of religious feast days celebrated as part of the Roman Catholic religion in medieval and Tudor England.

Starting on Christmas Day, there were twelve days of religious celebrations, feasting and entertainment that lasted until 5th January.
