Closed petition Epiphany Bank Holiday

Closed on

The Epiphany should become an official national bank holiday.

The Epiphany (6th January) is a feast which commemorates the visit of the Three Wise Men to the Christ child.

It also signifies the end of the Christmas period (the twelfth day). In 11 other European countries the Epiphany is a national holiday.

I propose that The Epiphany is celebrated as an official national bank holiday.
