“On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me, a partridge in a pear tree.” What do those lyrics mean? It represents Jesus, the son of God. Rumor has it that the 12 days of Christmas song was used by worshipers when Christians were being punished for their religion as a way to discreetly pass on the message of Christianity.

For religious reasons people celebrate the 12 days of Christmas. What is the 12 days of Christmas? The twelve days starting with Christmas and ending on January 7^th that celebrate Jesus Christ.
