Wanda 12-10-2013 8:32:38 PM EST Twelve Days of Christmas explained
What in the world do leaping lords, French hens, swimming swans, and especially the partridge who wonโt come out of the pear tree have to do with Christmas?
Today, I found out.
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 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 & John.
The five golden rings recalled the Torah or 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 in the Apostlesโ Creed.

Feroljane 12-01-2013 1:16:30 AM EST Thank you all for donations for the food drive. Our amount collected this year was lower but understandable as so many have left us. We decided to give everything to Mary Martha House and they expressed how they greatly appreciated it! We also gave them six turkeys. We collected $125. Most of which we spent on toiletries for the women and children. Sometimes we forget how many children are included in the three shelters they have for the women. They said that we are always so happy we must have a good time at Chulavista? Boy, were they right!! Thank you again. It was a privilege to serve!!
