(A complete Christmas worship service to be presented by children, youth or even adults and adult choirs. It is also a great teaching tool to use in your school or Sunday School classroom.)
Who would have thought that there was any connection between the song “The Twelve Days of Christmas” and a Christian worship service? But such may well be the case. Sadly, the dust of many Christmases may have covered the original intent of this song, a meaning that may be deeply seeded in Christian beliefs. The significance of the song may include such teachings as the four Gospels, the five books of Moses, the eleven apostles, the nine fruits of the Spirit, the 10 Commandments, the eight Beatitudes, the six days of creation, and more. Really the twelve days were once recognized as the days between Christmas and Epiphany not the days leading up to Christmas. (Please understand that the real history behind this song has been lost over time. This program presents one possible explanation.)
The Christmas worship service comes on a reproducible/printable CD. Song suggestions are included in the service, but there is no accompaniment CD.
