So I am finally counting, it’s forty three days to go before the big day.
Do you know the meaning and the symbolism behind the song Twelve Days of Christmas?
Some of us are not probably aware of it. It is another one of those lovely melodies we play during the Christmas season, right? The 12 days of Christmas is the period that in Christian theology marks the span between the birth of Christ and the coming of the Magi, the three wise men. It begins on December 25 (Christmas) and runs through January 6 (the Epiphany, sometimes also called Three Kings’ Day).
In our Catholic calendar, the Feast of the Three Kings was moved every first Sunday of the year, not usually January 6 as we previously knew. So it ends on Sunday, January 5, 2020. Here is the true meaning of the twelve days of Christmas. CHRISTmas with Christ in it.
(Got this from a post of a friend on FB). I posted something similar two years ago. Just a gentle reminder why we are celebrating Christmas.
