The 12 Days of Christmas are the days that are between Jesus’ birth and when the wise men come to visit Jesus on the day of Epiphany. It is the time in which gifts were given.
Disclaimer for what I am about to read: there is no documents supporting this or any real evidence until the 90’s that this was even possible. But, with that said, it is a great way to help teach children about the foundation of our faith.
Long ago in a land over the ocean and through some woods there were pastors who were told they couldn’t teach their beliefs. After many sleepless nights and a song was born. One that not only reminds us of the twelve days between the day of Christ birth and the day of Epiphany but also all the gifts that God, our True Love has given me, to us, all those who believe in Him.
On the first day of Christmas, his birthday of course, our True love gave to us a partridge in a pear tree. The partridge in the pear tree also represents Him because that bird is willing to sacrifice its life if necessary to protect its young by feigning injury to draw away predators.
