C
12 days
D
2 days
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Epiphany is celebrated 12 days after Christmas on 6th January (or January 19th for some Orthodox Church who have Christmas on 7th January) and is the time when Christians remember the Wise Men (also sometimes called the Three Kings) who visited Jesus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Three Kings Day or Epiphany is celebrated by Roman Catholics on Jan. 6, as the culmination of the 12 days of Christmas. Although the birth of Jesus is celebrated on Christmas Day, the three Kings didn’t actually reach him until twelve days later-which is why Three Kings Day is celebrated on the 12th day of Christmas.

Detailed explanation-3: -On the twelfth day of Christmas, January 6, we celebrate Three Kings Day! Celebrated most in Europe, Spain, and Latin America, ‘El Dia de los Reyes’, as it’s called in Spanish, marks the glorification of baby Jesus by the Three Wise Men.
