The Twelfth is an annual Protestant celebration on 12 July, originating in Northern Ireland. It is alternatively known also as Orangemen's Day or as the Boyne celebrations, commemorating the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, and the Glorious Revolution. It is occasionally known as the Glorious Twelfth, but that term is more commonly used to refer to 12 August. Members of the Orange Institution stage parades throughout Northern Ireland, England (mainly Liverpool and then Southport) and Scotland (mainly the west of Scotland). It must be noted that although it is known as a Protestant celebration, not all Protestants celebrate it, whether for political or cultural reasons, or for reasons of indifference.
