The Baptism of the Lord is the first Sunday after Epiphany..AnswerEver hear of the 12 Days of Christmas? Yep, in the old calendar, the season lasted from 25 December until 6 January: 12 Days. Now, as in the above answer, the season ends on the The Baptism of the Lord, which is a Sunday, which means that it moves with the calendar year, so it is longer than that. This year it ends on the 13th of January, so it is 19 days.
Ordinary Time follows Epiphany, followed a few weeks later by Lent.

The year starts with four weeks of advent, followed by the season of Christmas. The first day of the liturgical year is Advent Sunday.
