Hi Everyone,I just want to share this knowledge that I found interesting, it was also shared with me by a special friend. Have you ever wondered in the Christmas Carol 12 days of Christmas, what in the world do french hens, turtles and doves, and a lot of animals and things have to do with Christmas?... It was found that sometime in the year of 1558 to 1829, the Roman Catholic in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Thus, someone wrote the 12 days of Christmas as a Children Christmas Carol but it has two meanings, the surface meaning of the song and its hidden meaning about the Catholic faith. Each animals, person, and things mentioned in the song has a code that the children could remember. And here it is: 1.Partridge in a pear tree - Jesus Christ 2.Two turtle doves - the two testament of the bible, the old and the new testament 3.Three french hens - stood for faith, hope, and love. 4.Four calling birds - the four gospel of Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John 5.Five golden rings - recalled the law, the first five books of the old testament 6.Six geese a-laying - stood for six days of creation 7.Seven swans a-swimming - represents the seven fold gifts of the holy spirit (Prophecy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy) 8.Eight maids a-milking - represents the seven beatitudes 9.Nine ladies dancing - the nine fruits of the holy spirit (Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-Control. 10.Ten lords a-leaping - the Ten Commandments 11.Eleven pipers pipping - the eleven faithful disciple coz the 12th one is Judas 12.Twelve drummers drumming - symbolized the twelve points in the Apostle's Creed So there it is... One of the Catholic Faith History. Merry Christmas to All... God bless Everyone...
