We've all heard this song growing
up, but did you know each verse of the song also had a Biblical meaning? Over
the next few weeks, we will be exploring the Biblical meanings of each verse of
the song. You can do your craft of
choice, journal, scrapbook..….whatever you want to show what the verse and
meaning means to you. Each week I will
post the traditional verse, and its Biblical meaning. Once all 12 verses have
been presented, you should have a beautiful reminder that you can share with
your family and friends as to what the Biblical meanings are for "The 12
Days of Christmas"! (As a reminder, I found this information online at www.faith-sisters.blogspot.com and immediately knew it was the perfect accompaniment to
the 6 week Christmas Experience study).
Although participation in the 12
Days of Christmas Faithbooking Challenge isn’t necessary to be included the
Expressions of Faith small group, I hope you will incorporate it somehow
(crafting, journaling, scrapbooking, etc).
In a sense, it will become your testimonial of faith that will be a
keepsake you will enjoy reflecting on often and sharing with others.
On the ninth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.

9th Day: The
"nine ladies dancing" were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit found
in Galatians 5:22-23:
- Love
- Joy
- Peace
- Patience
- Kindness
- Goodness
- Faithfulness
- Gentleness
- Self-control.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, I am STILL behind on my
creations. I am still patiently awaiting
to get my package of paper and stickers by Graphic 45 themed “The 12 Days of
Christmas”….if you are interested in buying or viewing this collection, here is
