Twelve days of Christmas, Day three.
There have been many myths, even rumors, through the years. Some saying that the song Twelve Days of Christmas meaning communicated hidden messages, one thing is for certain all the gifts that were made up of birds, who wants three French hens on Day three, it could drive one batty, sorry no pun intended.
ANOTHER GREAT VERISON OF THE SONG
Today’s gift is three French hens, two turtledoves, and a partridge in a pear tree. Now we have nine birds hanging around, and it’s only the third day. Better get some seed.
WHAT DOES ALL THAT COST, AND WHO WANTS THREE FRENCH HENS?
After researching the story, I’ve found several great articles on the matter. I’ve included their links for you to read their articles below. This being the third day of Christmas I hope you’re still celebrating the birth of our Lord, the reason for all those gifts (and birds).
THE COST WAS EXTREME
Being the third day of Twelve days of Christmas, it brings to remembrance another third day, Jesus resurrection, the reason for His birth to begin with. Easter Sunday. So as you celebrate today, looking forward with knowledge of His resurrection, let His love carry you away, to your own security in His resurrection. Who wants three French hens anyway?
