The Real Story of the Twelve Days of Christmas NEW FOR 2008!

(A complete 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 is truly the case.  Sadly, the dust of many Christmases has covered the original intent of this song, a meaning deeply seeded in Christian beliefs.  The significance of the song includes 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.

The service comes on a reproducible/printable CD.  Song suggestions are included in the service, but there is no accompaniment CD.
