What are the 12 Days of Christmas?
The Twelve Days of Christmas start with Christmas, the beginning of the Christmas Season and celebrate the Christmas season from Jesus' birth until the day before the Epiphany. The Epiphany is the celebration of when the three wise men visited Joseph, Mary, and Jesus in Bethlehem. Since the Church is still celebrating, it's a great opportunity to leave your Christmas decorations up a little longer!
What is the Meaning of the Song "The Twelve Days of Christmas"?
The religious wars in sixteenth century England made it dangerous to be a Catholic. Many people practiced their faith in secret. As the legend goes, Catholic families courageously developed unique ways to secretly pass the faith onto their children, like “The 12 Days of Christmas.” The well-known song was used to teach children about the Catholic Church. Although the lyrics may sound like nonsense, the song actually contains hidden references.
