Christmas Photo Challenge  . . The 9th Day of Christmas

 

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.

 

Nine Ladies Dancing
The nine Fruit of the Holy Spirit: 1) love, 2) joy, 3) peace, 4) patience, 5) kindness,
6) generosity, 7) faithfulness, 8) gentleness, and 9) self-control.

Ed, I love the 9 fruits of the Spirit. I can't remember what the other 11 days symbolize...

Hmmm....I thought you were running a contest and points were involved ;-)

Yes, I had heard this before. I know some of them off-hand, but I'm sure you can tell us all of them..or have you already explained the first 8?

Ed, I am anxiously awaiting our second Christmas, we celebrate Russian Orthodox Christmas too. So... your holiday posts are a good reminder for me!

Don, if you back up to my post of Dec 25, that's when I started the 12 days of Christmas, as is appropriate, with the 12th coming on Jan 5, the Twelfth Night, the last day before the Feast of the Epiphany, Jan 6 or Little Christmas which is supposedly when the 3 wise men arrived at Bethlehem

Gary, they would fill a barn yard for sure

William, I started this with the Challenge and I intend to finish it, just like I do with everything I start, even though there are no longer any points involved.

Joan there is a lot of significance to the gifts, all of which was prepared when it was dangerous for Christians to openly celebrate.

Andrea, I understand, and as noted above, I started it knowing I would have to carry it over beyond the challenge. Not everything is about points

Ed, what's that you say? :D  Seriously, you got it! How many people don't know the 12 days of Christmas are after Christmas.... all the decorations get ripped down... so sad. But not in my house as I still have one more to go!
