Revealing The Code Of The Twelve Days Of Christmas
Regardless of where you are, you will always remember the Christmas holidays. Even if you do not happen to be a Christian, you will most likely give some though and consideration to a season of kindness and reflection. It has been part of every Christmas to sing yuletide carols. Different than the usual trendy music we listen to during most of the year, Christmas songs are traditional classics. Thus, the origin of each music composition would always interest us. One of these traditional Christmas carols is "The Twelve Days of Christmas". You may hear this Christmas carol, in it entirety on internet radio.
When King Henry VIII started Protestantism in England, Catholics were not allowed to express their form of worship. Not only that it was treated a Taboo but also it was considered as a crime against the state. Even the possession of the Bible was handled with violence. Nevertheless, Catholics bravely yet silently worshipped incognito.
During these difficult days for Catholics, The Twelve Days of Christmas was written. At first, it was believed to be a hidden way for Catholics to edify their children, however no evidence was presented to validate this accusation, so even the Protestants began to add it to their Christmas repertoire. The carol was made carefully to contain symbols that signified certain meanings. The lyrics were carefully crafted to prevent suspicion of the Catholics that delighted in it.
Christmas is celebrated across the globe within 12 days. It commences on Christmas day and terminates on January 6, the day of Epiphany. So let's reveal the coded meaning of the lyrics that tricked the Protestant king and his loyal entourage.
In the song God was referred to as the "true love" while the Catholic devotes were referred to as the singer ("me"). The carol proceeds as follows, on the first day of Christmas my true love game to me. You can listen to these lyrics on free online music .
1. A "partridge in a pear tree"this line refers to Jesus who gave his life for us by dying on the cross. A partridge was commonly used those days to refer to a divine king.
2. "Two turtle doves"this line refers to the two testaments of the Bible, the Old and the New Testaments while doves represent peace.
3. "Three French hens"these refer to the three gifts of the Holy Spirit, faith, love and hope. Some believe this line also refers to the Holy Trinity, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
4. "Four calling birds"these refer to the New Testament's four Gospels, Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John.
5. "Five golden rings"this line refers to the Bible's first five books referred to as Pentateuch.
6. "Six geese a-laying"refers to the number of days that everything is created.
7. "Seven swans a swimming"refers to the save gifts of the Holy Spirit
8. "Eight maids a milking", is a reference to the eight Beatitudes of Jesus Christ.
9. "Nine ladies dancing", is a reference to the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control.
10. "Ten lords a leaping" refers to the Bible's Ten Commandments.
11. "Eleven pipers piping", refers to all of Jesus' eleven faithful disciples
12. "Twelve drummers drumming"refers to the twelve articles of the Apostle's creed.
We hope this will give you a deeper understanding, the next time that you listen to this Christmas carol.
