However, “Christmas” is actually a season of the Christian year known as “Christmastide,” which begins on December 25 and lasts until January 5th. The next day, January 6th, was called the Day of Epiphany, which is a holiday that celebrates the visit of the Magi to the infant Jesus. Oven time, Christmastide became a period of continuous feasting and merrymaking. The last night of celebrating was called “Twelfth Night,” which was used by Shakespeare as the title of one his comedies. However, the song “The 12 Days of Christmas” was an English Christmas carol apparently adapted from a similar French song. The version that we are familiar with today was developed by the Catholic Church because of the persecution of Christians in Britain. From 1558 until 1829, people in England were not allowed to practice their faith openly. If fact, if anyone were caught with anything in writing indicating their belief in the Catholic faith, they could be imprisoned or executed! It was during this era that “The 12 Days of Christmas” song was used as a kind of secret code concerning several important lessons about Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Christian faith, and various Christian saints as recorded in the Bible. These lessons could be sung in public without the risk of persecution. The hidden meaning of the song would only be understood by Christians. The 12 Days of CHRISTMAS Secret Code CODE for - My True Love gave to me: My “True Love” - stands for Our Father God! GOD is OUR TRUE LOVE!!! He showed how much He loves us by giving us the GIFT OF HIS ONLY SON! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” - John 3:16 CODE FOR DAY 1 - Partridge in a pear tree “Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.” – 1 Sam. 26:20 The “partridge” in a pear tree - is Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! A partridge is a bird related to the pheasant, quail and chicken. The mother partridge will act as a decoy to protect her defenseless chicks from predators. (She would pretend to be injured in order to draw predators away from her nest.) She literally risks her life for her children. This example of the partridge represents the reason for the birth of Christ: “…and I lay down my life for the sheep." - John 10:15 Also, one of the Hebrew definitions for partridge is . “caller.” Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ “calls us” to be His disciples and spread His Message to the world: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.” – Matt. 28:19-20 The pear tree was actually a mistake in translation. The French word for partridge is “perdrix” – pronounced per-dree or “pear tree” in English. This tree came to represent the cross on which Christ was crucified. Therefore, a Partridge in a pear tree refers to Christ dying on the cross for all of our sins! CODE FOR DAY 2 - Two Turtledoves “And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old . and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”- Gen. 15:9 The “two turtledoves” - are the Old and New Testaments. A turtledove is a type of small dove which sings a “trrrr, trrrr” song to announce the arrival of Spring—a season symbolic of new life. Doves have become emblems of devoted love. God’s Word is an emblem of His great love for His children. The Bible contains information about God’s greatest gift to man, namely, His Son, Jesus Christ . Who is Our Symbol of New Life: “And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new…” - Rev. 21:5 Turtledoves were used as part of the sacrificial ritual the Ancient Hebrews were commanded to make. However, after Christ was born, these rituals were no longer necessary, for Christ Himself became our Sacrifice for all of our sins: “And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.” – Eph. 5:2 CODE FOR DAY 3 - Three French Hens “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [thou] that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under [her] wings, and ye would not!” – Matt. 23:37 The “three French hens” - stand for faith, hope and love. The 3 French hens may refer to the “French Guinea Hens.” Guinea hens lay many eggs, and the entire flock will often lay in a single nest. Sometimes hens share the incubation duties, but usually a single hen will sit on all the eggs. (A hen was known to sit on as many as 70 eggs!) The hen performing this duty is a beautiful example of the three great Christian virtues - faith, hope and love: o Faith - steadfastness in belief o Hope - expectation of receiving; refraining from despair and not giving up o Love - selfless, unconditional, and voluntary loving-kindness CODE FOR DAY 4 - Four calling birds “Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches.” – Matt. 13:32 The “four calling birds” - are the four Gospels in the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The calling birds are actually “colley” birds, which are types of blackbirds. In England, a coal mine is called a colliery. The name “colly or collie” derives from this and means “black like coal.” Blackbirds, like many woodland birds, space themselves out so that each breeding pair of birds works a small area without encroaching on the next pair. In order to attain this separation, the birds need to alert each other to where they are and they do this by singing loudly. The blackbird has one of the most musical of voices of any bird and has a whole range of different sounds it uses for different situations. The term “Gospel” means “good tidings or good news.” The first 4 books in the New Testament are called the four “Gospels” – because they proclaim the Good News of God's reconciliation of the world to Himself by the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

  • Homily for the Solemnity of Mary (January 1, 2019)
    Homily Nm 6: 22-27 Ps 67: 2-3, 5, 6, 8 Solemnity of Mary – B Gal 4: 4-7 Rev. Peter G. Jankowski Lk 2: 16-21 January 01, 2019 Preached on the Holland America MS Veendam while on vacation in the Caribbean. On the 8th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me… Eight maids-a-milkin’, Seven swans-a-swimmin’, Six geese are layin’, Five golden rings, Four calling birds, Three French hens, Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree. My dear brothers and sisters, may I introduce you to the Christmas Carol that I enjoy the least… An old tradition, which is partly fact and partly fiction, tells us that the holiday tune entitled, “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” was written in England in 1780, around the time the Catholic faith was outlawed in Great Britain by the royalty of the time. As the story is told, between the years 1558 to 1829, the Catholic faithful were prohibited from any practice of their faith by law, whether it be publicly or privately. Catholic Englishmen were forced to teach their children about the ways of God somewhat covertly, in an attempt to skirt around the laws of the time. As a result, folklore tells us that “The Twelve Days of Christmas” was written as a type of code to instruct the children of the time concerning the ways of faith. The code works something like this… The True Love = God himself “Me” = Every baptized person Partridge in a Pear Tree = Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

  • A Biblical Treasure Hunt by David Pleacher
    A Biblical Treasure Hunt By David Pleacher The Bible verse from Matthew 6:19-21 states: "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." And so I created this Biblical Treasure Hunt in which you must solve some puzzles to discover some of the treasures of Heaven. To "lay up treasures in Heaven" means people must prioritize the things they value here on earth. So these words of Jesus are about the priorities that we have in life – our attitudes, beliefs, codes, ethics, standards, ideals, principles, values, ideology, and morals. If you are not a Christian, you can still do this puzzle and just use these treasures as guidelines for a good life. There are several references to Bible passages and to a passage from the Quran. If you do not own those books, you can do a Google search on the internet for those passages. In the first eight puzzles, you will discover Treasures of Heaven. In the last puzzles, you will solve for twenty-six variables from A to Z. Then you will use the values of those variables to determine additional treasures in Heaven by replacing numbers with the corresponding letters. #4. _____________________ (one five-letter word) Determine this treasure of Heaven from the punches below: #5. _____________________________________ (four words) Hint: Look in Albrecht Dürer's Melencolia I (or see Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol) #6.
