The ninth day of Christmas is also known as the Feast of the Holy Name, which is celebrated in honor of the baby Jesus. It marks the moment when he was named by his parents, Mary and Joseph, and is traditionally a day of prayer and reflection. The feast is also associated with the theme of giving and receiving, as it is believed that on this day, God gave his only son to the world, and in return, people should give back to others. In many cultures, it is also a time for exchanging gifts and celebrating family and friends.
