There is currently some confusion as to which night is Twelfth Night. It is defined by the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary as "the evening of the fifth of January, preceding Twelfth Day, the eve of the Epiphany, formerly the last day of the Christmas festivities and observed as a time of merrymaking.However, some count the night of Epiphany itself (sixth of January) to be Twelfth Night.. Once source of this confusion is the Mediaeval custom of starting each new day at sunset, so that Twelfth Night precedes Twelfth Day.
