[Magdalen] Listgive take-off!!

[Joseph Cirou]

Well you could always count on Julian Calendar Armenians who keep both Christmas and Theophany on January 6 which would be January 19 NS. Some Armenians now keep both Christmas and Theophany separately; others adhere to the single day. in the US we have some German Baptists who still observe the Old Calendar; so they could have Epiphany after the King Holiday. King Week can be a special Mardi Season festival
