In the well-known song, 12 Days of Christmas, we are looking at each verse and explaining what each item named represents! So for today, we are looking at the sixth verse…
On the sixth day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me
6 GEESE A-LAYING
6 GEESE A-LAYING
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtledoves,
And a partridge in a pear tree
As we have already discussed, we are the ones singing it, telling what our true love – God – gave to us. The partridge in a pear tree represented Christ, the two turtledoves represented the Old and New Testaments, the three French hens represent the theological virtues, and the four calling birds symbolize the four gospels, and the five golden rings are the first five books in the Old Testament (the histories).
Now we are already onto the “6 Geese A-laying”!! This represents the 6 days of creation that exclaim God as Creator and Sustainer!
