A Large Nail tied with a RED bow.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Christmas time at our house And we\u2019re putting up the tree.
\nI wish I could find one simple way to remember Christ\u2019s gift to me.
\nSome little sign or symbol To show friends stopping by
\nThe little Baby was born one day, but really came to die.
\nSome symbol of his nail-pierced hands, The blood he shed for you and me
\nWhat if I hung a simple nail Upon my Christmas tree?
\nA crimson bow tied \u2018round the nail As his blood flowed down so free.
\nTo save each person from their sins And redeem us for all eternity.
\nI know it was his love for us that held him to that tree,
\nBut when I see this simple nail I know He died for me.<\/p>\n

Subject: Meaning of The Twelve Days of Christmas Song (taken from the internet, author unlisted)<\/p>\n

There is one Christmas carol that has had me baffled. What in the world do leaping lords, French hens, swimming swans, and especially that partridge that won\u2019t come out of the pear tree have to do with Christmas?<\/p>\n

From 1558 until 1829 Roman Catholics in England were not allowed to practice their faith openly. Some one during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics. It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning, plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality which the children could remember.<\/p>\n

One partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ.
\nThe turtle doves were The Old and The New Testaments.
\nThree French Hens stood for faith, hope and love.
\nThe four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
\nThe five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testatment.
\nThe six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation.
\nThe seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit.
\n(Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy)
\nThe eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes.
\nNine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy spirit.
\n(Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-control)
\nTen lords a-leaping were the ten commandments.
\nEleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples.
\nTwelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief in the Apostles Creed.<\/p>\n

So there is your history lesson for today. Now I know how that strange song became a Christmas Carol.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
