At Mad Bomber we have no preferred religion, we just sell warm and stylish hats. We are curious about the world, our customers, and we ask questions; we want to learn.
In this email-lecture I will be addressing why we have 12 days of Christmas and what that song we all hear about Piping Pipers and Pears in Partridge trees is all about. Once you have been educated you will be rewarded with a link to irresistible Mad Bomber offers.
______________________________
FIRST DAY OF CHIRSTMAS: The ‘partridge in a pear tree‘ is Jesus who died on the cross. In ancient times a partridge was often used as mythological symbol of a divine, sacred king.
THE SECOND DAY: The ‘two turtle doves’ are the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. Doves also symbolise peace.
THIRD DAY: The ‘three French hens’ are faith, hope and love – the three gifts of the Holy Spirit. The French hens can also represent God the Father, His Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
FOURTH… The ‘four calling birds’ are the four Gospels in the New Testament of the Bible.
FIFTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS: The ‘five golden rings’ are the first five books of the Bible, also called the Pentateuch, the Books of Moses or the Torah for the Jewish among us.
THE SIXTH DAY: The ‘six geese a-laying’ are the six days of creation.
SEVENTH DAY: The ‘seven swans a swimming’ are the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit.
EIGHTH… The ‘eight maids a milking’ are the eight beatitudes, Jesus’ teachings on happiness.
THE TENTH DAY: The ‘ten lords a-leaping’ are the Ten Commandments in the Bible.
ELEVENTH: The ‘eleven pipers piping’ are the eleven faithful disciples of Jesus.
AND THE TWELFTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS: The ‘twelve drummers drumming’ were the twelve points of the Apostles’ Creed.
