    Ephiphany
    At Epiphany or Little Christmas which is the twelfth after Christmas the men are supposed to cook the meals for the women and so it is called the "womens Christmas".
    At tea on that evening a barm brack is eaten which contains, a ring, a stick, a bean, a pea and a rag just the same as on Hallow E'en.
