Continuing our series of I Didn’t Know That, we take a look at the common symbolism attributed to that famous Christmas song; The Twelve Days of Christmas. Be aware, the song was not written as a mnemonic device to memorize Christian symbolism, but we can still have fun learning.

The twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: Twelve Drummers Drumming

This has been given the symbolism of:

Twelve points of doctrine in the Apostles Creed

(Quick, can you name all twelve?)

Thank you for persevering to the end. It is a long song.
