According to tradition, the Christmas tree can be taken down on three dates. Those who want to clean up quickly, but in accordance with the rules, can do it on January 6, which falls on a Monday in 2025. The second date is the first Sunday after Epiphany. The Sunday of the Baptism of the Lord falls on January 12 this year. The last date to take down the Christmas tree is February 2, the feast of Our Lady of Candlemas.
When to take down a Christmas tree? Three important dates if you want to keep tradition
January 6 is the first date to take down the Christmas tree, according to tradition. On the Feast of the Epiphany (Epiphany Day), we give ourselves time to focus on what is ahead of us. Taking apart the Christmas tree and cleaning up the Christmas decorations on this day means that the birth of Christ has already taken place, and we can celebrate the commemoration of Jesus’ revelation to the wise men from the East, and through them to all people and the whole world. January 12, 2025 is the date of the Sunday of the Baptism of the Lord. Then the liturgical season of Christmas ends. According to tradition, we can then dismantle the Christmas tree, clean up the Christmas decorations and focus on subsequent events. On the first Sunday after the Epiphany (Epiphany), we remember the baptism of Jesus Christ in the Jordan, when he revealed himself to the Israelites as the true Messiah anointed with the Holy Spirit. Since the liturgical season of Christmas ends on the first Sunday after the Feast of the Epiphany, why does the Christmas tree in St. The Mark stays in the Vatican until February 2? Because that’s when the feast of the Presentation of the Lord, also known as the feast of Our Lady of Candlemas, is celebrated. Then the traditional Christmas period of singing carols and pastorals ends. The holiday itself commemorates the presentation of Jesus Christ in the Temple in Jerusalem.
