It is the end of Christmas. Sometimes in Ireland it is referred to as little Christmas or women's Christmas. A tradition that is still maintained by some people is for the men to do more of the work around the house in recognition of what women have been doing throughout Christmas. It is a holy day of obligation, so many catholics go to mass that day. In churches, statues of the three wise men will be put into the cribs, marking their arrival to see Jesus.
