There are in fact twelve days of Christmas.  In the Western Church calendar, the twelve days of Christmas start on Dec. 25th and end on January 5th.  A break down of the days are as follows:Dec. 25 - ChristmasDec. 26 - The Feast of StephenDec. 27 - John the Baptist’s martyrdomDec. 28 - Feast of the Holy InnocentsJan. 1 -   Feast of the Name and Circumcision of JesusJan. 5 -   Day of the MagiThis means that the famous song, "The Twelve Days of Christmas" is connected to the Church calendar, and some people have certainly made some deeper connections to the meaning of the gifts from the "True Love" of the song by finding Biblical parallels.  Was this song intentionally written as code to teach the Christian faith?  And even if it wasn't, can these Biblical connections add a new sense of wonder to the song and help remind us that we have way more to celebrate and remember in the Church calendar for the Christmas Season?  I think so.  Listen and find out more!  Show Links:12 Days of Christmas Show Notes St. Paul'
