A Blessed Christmas Season to all, The Canons Regular of St. John Cantius at St. Peter’s in Volo would like to thank you most heartily for all of the gifts that we have received these past weeks. We would also like to extend a special thanks to everyone who has helped in any way to make this a rich and beautiful Christmas—those who cleaned the church, those who helped with decorations, altar servers, choir members, those of you who so generously helped needy families with gifts, as well as anyone else that we may have forgotten. May God shower you with abundant blessings throughout the new year.

A Festival Of Lessons & Carols
Friday, December 29 at 7:00 p.m.
Don’t miss an enchanting evening at St. Peter’s Church with our very
own Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols.
This traditional blending of Scripture readings with Sacred Music has
uplifted hearts for countless Christmas seasons.
There is no admission charge but free-will offerings
will be accepted at the door.
Religious Symbolism of �The Twelve Days of Christmas�1st Day: The partridge in a pear tree is Christ Jesus upon the Cross. In the song, Christ is symbolically presented as a mother partridge because she would feign injury to decoy a predator away from her nestlings. She was even willing to die for them. The tree is the symbol of the fall of the human race through the sin of Adam and Eve. It is also the symbol of its redemption by Jesus Christ on the tree of the Cross.�2nd Day: The “two turtle doves” refers to the two turtle doves that were brought as a sacrifice to the temple by Mary and Joseph when Jesus was forty days old Jewish families have used turtledoves as offerings to God for hundreds of years. Luke 2:22, 24. �3rd Day: The “three French hens” represent the three gifts of the Magi (wise men): gold, frankincense, and myrrh. French hens were valuable poultry during the sixteenth century �only the rich could afford them. �4th Day: The “four calling birds” refers to the four evangelists who wrote the Gospels � Matthew, Mark, Luke and John � which sing the song of salvation through Jesus Christ.�5th Day: The “five golden rings” represents the first five books of the Bible, also called the Jewish Torah: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.�6th Day: The “six geese a �laying” is the six days of creation.�7th Day: The “seven swans a � swimming” refers to the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit: wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord. (Rom. 12:6�8)�8th Day: The “eight maids a milking “ reminded children of the eight beatitudes listed in the Sermon on the Mount.�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 and self control.�10th Day: The “ten lords a�leaping” represents the Ten Commandments�11th Day: The “eleven pipers piping” refers to the eleven faithful apostles.�12th Day: The “twelve drummers drumming” were the twelve points of belief expressed in the Apostles’ Creed: belief in God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, that Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary, made man, crucified, died and arose on the
third day, that he sits at the right hand of the father and will come again, the resurrection of the dead and life everlasting.�
