The back of each card explains the religious expressions of the carol.
There is a legend that ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’ was written at a time of Roman Catholic persecution in Britain when Catholics needed to find more covert ways of celebrating their faith.
Truth or folklore, it is still interesting to entertain the possible religious significance of the carol:
- A Partridge in a Pear Tree = Jesus Christ, protector of the faith
- 2 Turtle Doves = the Old and New Testaments
- 3 French Hens = the 3 Theological Virtues (faith, hope, charity)
- 4 Calling Birds = the 4 Evangelists, (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John)
- 5 Gold Rings = First 5 Books of the Old Testament, (Pentateuch), the history of man’s fall from grace
- 6 Geese a’ Laying = the 6 days of creation
- 7 Swans a’ Swimming = the 7 Sacraments
- 8 Maids a’ Milking = the 8 Beatitudes
- 9 Ladies Dancing = the 9 fruits of the Holy Spirit
- 10 Lords a’ Leaping = the 10 Commandments
- 11 Pipers Piping = the 11 faithful disciples
- 12 Drummers Drumming = the 12 points of doctrine in the Apostles’ Creed
