Christmas Feast Joyous Season Carols
 
The Christmas season, like the Roman Saturnalia, is heralded by the welcoming

of Santa and the cycle ends with the feast of Epiphany, marked on January 7 by the new Julian calendar, or January 20 by the Gregorian. On Epiphany Eve there is a meatless holy supper

and the solemn blessing of water, which recalls Christ’s Baptism by St. John. Celebrate the Christmas Feast Joyous Season Carols with 123Christians.
