At about this time of year we tend to get a few emails from people who say that we have got the calendar wrong. This is because the solemnity of the Epiphany is celebrated on different dates in different parts of the world. There are two choices:
- It can be celebrated on January the 6th, the thirteenth day of Christmas. That is why the eve of the Epiphany is called Twelfth Night.
- It can be celebrated on the Sunday between the 2nd and 8th of January.
Universalis does both. If you set Universalis to use your local calendar, you will see the Epiphany on the right day for you.
- In England and Wales, 2021 is the first year for a while in which the Epiphany does not fall on the Sunday. Don’t worry: this is correct!
- In Scotland, you need to get the latest update to Universalis to make sure that you get the Epiphany on the Sunday.
- If you are confused about the readings, this page lists them all for both “Epiphany on the 6th” and “Epiphany on the Sunday”.
