I have to admit: I had no idea that the popular Christmas song, the Twelve Days of Christmas, was a song of Christian instruction. I learned this at Sen. Yvonne Miller’s Christmas luncheon, when we were presented with the quiz below.
Now, without cheating, can you match the items in list A with the proper item in list B?
| List A | List B |
| 1. A partridge in a pear tree | _____ Faithful disciples |
| 2. Two turtle doves | _____ Major divisions of Bible |
| 3. Three French hens | _____ Gifts of the Holy Spirit |
| 4. Four calling birds | _____ Torah or Pentateuch books |
| 5. Five Golden rings | _____ “Beliefs” in the Apostles’ Creed |
| 6. Six geese a-laying | _____ The Gospel Books |
| 7. Seven swans a-swimming | _____ Fruit of the Holy Spirit |
| 8. Eight maids a-milking | _____ Days of Creation |
| 9. Nine ladies dancing | _____ Abiding in our hearts per I Cor. 13 |
| 10. Ten lords a-leaping | _____ Number of Beatitudes |
