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 fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: Four Calling Birds

This has been given the symbolism of:

Four Gospels of the New Testament

(Matthew, Mark, Luke and John)

Stayed tuned for the next episode where we’ll look at the Fifth Day of Christmas.
