On the fourth day of Christmas...

On the 4th day of Christmas my true love gave to me...
Four Calling Birds

The Four Gospels: 1) Matthew, 2) Mark, 3) Luke, and 4) John, which proclaim the Good News of God's reconciliation of the world to Himself in Jesus Christ.

  2. Well, this probably doesn't mean anything, but the four gospel writers would line up with the corresponding verse in "Green Grow the Rushes-O", a similar Twelfth Night counting song.

    Come to think of it, how do you know that 3 stands for the theological virtues? Wouldn't the Trinity be a more obvious choice?

  3. Fidelio, tell me something, since you seem to have such a great source for information(which I will ask you to reveal later). Was the "12 Days of Christmas" song used during times of persecution as a means of teaching the Faith?? or is this just another Catholic urban legend?
