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 sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: Six Geese A-laying

This has been given the symbolism of:

Six days of creation

(on the seventh day, God rested)

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