“Catholics in England during the period 1558 to 1829, when Parliament finally emancipated Catholics in England, were prohibited from ANY practice of their faith by law – private OR public. It was a crime to BE a Catholic.” –www.byrum.org
Thus The 12 Days of Christmas was written as a memory aid to learning the Christian Faith. The partridge in a pear tree refers to Jesus Christ.
So that’s all for day 1.
