The 12 Days of Christmas

                                        "The 12 Days of Christmas”
There is one Christmas Carol that has baffled people and that Carol is
"The 12 Days of Christmas”
From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote this Carol as a catechism song for young Catholics. It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each element in the song has a code word for a religious reality which the children could remember.
 
The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ
Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments
Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love
The four calling birds were the four gospels of
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
The five golden rings recalled the Torah of Law, the first five books of the old Testament
The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation
Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit
Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution,
Leadership, and Mercy
The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes
Nine Ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit
Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control
The Ten Lords a-leaping were the ten Commandments
The eleven Pipers piping stood for the (eleven faithful) disciples
The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief
Contained in the Apostles’ Creed.
