The 12 days of Christmas is the period that in Christian theology marks the span between the Birth of Christ and the coming of the Magi, the three wise men. It begins on December 25 (Christmas) and runs through January 6 (the Epiphany, sometimes also called Three Kings' Day). The four weeks preceding Christmas are collectively known as Advent, which begins four Sundays before Christmas and ends on December 24.

Holy Spirit of the Living LORD, we PRAY in agreement with Your Word in Matthew 2:1
Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His Star in the East and have come to Worship Him.
LORD, we seek You earnestly and diligently to worship and adore You! You are The Christ – The Son of the Living God! Truly man – born of a woman and truly Divine in Nature and Character in complete fulfillment of the 19 prophecies written in Word of God!
