Protestants believe that the twelve (12) days of Christmas are a turning point in the Advent season. For several Protestants, the period between Christmas (25th of December) and the Epiphany (6th of January) is a fasting period. The day of Christmas Lutherans celebrate the birth of Christ. These twelve (12) days remind Protestants of the difficulties and hardships of religion, but also of the many reasons for celebrations, as the church’s heroes and heroines are remembered.
