The Twelve Days of Christmas 2010-2011

YEAR FULL OF LOVE AND POETRY

The Twelve Days of Christmas Click here to Listen to the carol...

Many researchers agree that "The Twelve Days of Christmas," was
written as a kind of secret catechism and can be taken at two levels of
interpretation. There is a surface meaning, and also, the hidden
meaning known only to the Christians involved; where each element
is a code word for a religious truth CLICK to read more...

This has been the third year's celebration (2010-2011) of The 'Twelve
Days of Christmas' here at Lunch Break;

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me Twelve
Drummers Drumming

--Internet image from

Twelve Drummers Drumming-The twelve points of doctrine in the
Apostles' Creed: 1. I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of
heaven and earth. 2. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
3. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the
virgin Mary. 4. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified,
died, and was buried. He descended into hell [the grave]. 5. On the
third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at
the right hand of the Father. 6. He will come again to judge the
living and the dead. 7. I believe in the Holy Spirit, 8. the holy
catholic Church, 9. the communion of saints, 10. the forgiveness of
sins, 11. the resurrection of the body, 12. and life everlasting.
