On the first day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:
12 Drummers Drumming
11 Pipers Piping
10 Lords a Leaping
9 Ladies Dancing
8 Maids a Milking
7 Swans a Swimming
6 Geese a Laying
5 Golden Rings
4 Calling Birds
3 French Hens
2 Turtle Doves
and a Partridge in a Pear Tree
*But what is the real meaning of 12-days of christmas?*
Christian symbolism of The Twelve Days of Christmas (The 12 Days of Christmas)
1 True Love refers to God
2 Turtle Doves refers to the Old and New Testaments
3 French Hens refers to Faith, Hope and Charity, the Theological Virtues
4 Calling Birds refers to the Four Gospels and/or the Four Evangelists
5 Golden Rings refers to the first Five Books of the Old Testament, the "Pentateuch", which gives the history of man's fall from grace.
6 Geese A-laying refers to the six days of creation
7 Swans A-swimming refers to the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, the seven sacraments
8 Maids A-milking refers to the eight beatitudes
9 Ladies Dancing refers to the nine Fruits of the Holy Spirit
10 Lords A-leaping refers to the ten commandments
11 Pipers Piping refers to the eleven faithful apostles
12 Drummers Drumming refers to the twelve points of doctrine in the Apostle's Creed
A simple prayer of mine this Christmas
O Lord God almighty, by the birth of Your son Jesus Christ! 2000 years ago, the histories of mankind changes! It was Him who brought back light to the world! It was Him who show us the path back to you! It was Him that we all made "Perfect"! O God, all i ask for this Christmas, is that my path will be on Your hand. What ever road You chossen for me, i shall walk with all my Faith! Bless this broken road as i walk humbly with Your son Jesus Christ! And i wish You Merry Christmas O Father! My present for You this year, is to be better person in Faith and in Righteousness! Blessed be upon Your name!
In Jesus name i pray, Amen!
