Boxing Day - December 26th - is the feastday of Saint Stephen, and is called St Stephen's Day and is part of the Christian season of Christmas.
Boxing Day got that name because it was the tradition for employers to give a Christmas gift to their staff on that day - a Christmas box, as it was called.
Boxing day is also part of the Christian/Catholic 12 days of Christmas and is officially classed as the 2nd day of Christmastide.
Christmastide officially ends on January 6th with the feast of Epiphany (Three kings day)
The term Boxing day is also the secular term used instead of St Stephen`s day.
