The Christian Symbols of the Twelve Days of Christmas - Paperback

by ML Brei (Author)

We sing the carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas, but do we know the symbolic meanings behind the words? Do we know that this venerable carol sings of twelve days starting on December 25th and ending on January 5th, also known as Christmastide or Twelvetide -- the time during which the Three Kings were on their journey to find the newborn Christ? This is a time for celebration, and this guide is full of ideas to fill these days with joy. It describes the Christian symbols of the twelve gifts in the context of joyous Christmastide traditions. It also includes inspirational verses from the Bible, prayers for feast days, meditations, and beautiful imagery to celebrate the season.

This is a jewel of a book -- a perfect gift for loved ones. It is an inspiration for those who wish to perform acts of kindness during the yuletide season.
