The 12 Days of Christmas

I saw an interesting look at the meaning of the 12 days of Christmas at CriVoice and thought I might share it. The basic premise is that this often thought of nonsensical children’s rhyme actually has much deeper meaning. On the 1st day of Christmas my true love gave to me… Day 1, Christmas Day, December 25 – A Partridge in a Pear Tree: The partridge in a pear tree is Jesus the Christ, the Son of … Read entire article »

All the earth is filled with His Glory.” It is … Read entire article »
