The eighth day of Christmas is New Year's Day as well as the Solemnity of Mary the Mother of God and the Feast of the Circumcision of Christ. The celebration of Mary as the mother of Jesus can be traced back to as early as 431 AD.
In Old Testament times a distinction was made regarding sacrifices: whereas 70 sacrifices were offered on the first seven days of Sukkoth to signify the “70 nations” constituting all humanity, a single ram and a single bullock were sacrificed on the eighth day to symbolize Israel's special relationship to God.
