The Secret Code?

According to ABC news ……

According to a Ms Neil, each item in the 12 Days Of Christmas song was a metaphor for a bible story.

"On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a partridge in a pear tree," symbolising God (true love) and Jesus Christ (the partridge).

Second day: Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments.

Third day: Three French hens represented the three gifts of faith, hope and love.

Fourth day: Calling birds were the four gospels.

Fifth day: Five golden rings were the Books of Moses.

Sixth day: Geese a-laying stands for the six days of creation.

Seventh day: Swans a-swimming were the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Eighth day: Maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes.

Ninth day: Ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit such as charity, peace and kindness.

Tenth day: Lords a-leaping represent the 10 Commandments.

Eleventh day: Pipers piping were the 11 apostles.

Twelfth day: Twelve drummers drumming represented the points of the Apostles Creed.

My friend, Doug Kramer had written about this and I found it very fascinating. Could this be true?

It truly is an interesting theory but alas the fact checking site SNOPES says it is false.
