Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Epiphany to all of you! It has been an amazing season so far, and today we celebrate the visit of the Three Wise Men with Jesus. Today signifies the 12
th day of our
Christmas celebration. Did you know that the song, “The Twelve Days of Christmas” is a Catholic Song? Here’s a little history regarding this holiday favorite and what each element means. “The Twelve Days of Christmas” is an English carol which was written as a catechism song for young Catholics during 1558 to 1829 when it was illegal to practice openly. Each element is a code which was only known to the members of the Church. Let’s take a closer look at each one. On the ______ day of Christmas my true love (Jesus Christ) gave to me, January 5
