The 12th Day of Christmas

On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me

TWELVE DRUMMERS DRUMMING.

*Did you know that the twelve drummers are the twelve doctrines of the Apostles' creed? (Namely belief in the Father, belief in the Son, the virgin birth, the Atonement, Christs' ministry after death, His ascension to heaven, His role as Judge, belief in the Holy Ghost, belief in the church, forgiveness of sins, the resurrection, and eternal life)

Some early traditions hold that this song was used as a teaching tool to instruct young people of various denominations in the Christian faith. All of the pictures and text were taken from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir performance from 2007.
