Also, "The Twelve Days of Christmas is a religious song, that is say, there are deeply religious symbolism in the lyrics.
* 1 True Love refers to (the Christian) God
* 2 Turtle Doves refers to the Old and New Testaments
* 3 French Hens refers to Faith, Hope and Charity, the Theological Virtues
* 4 Calling Birds refers to the 4 Gospels and/or the Four Evangelists
* 5 Golden Rings refers to the first 5 Books of the Old Testament, the "Pentateuch"
* 6 Geese A-laying refers to the 6 days of creation
* 7 Swans A-swimming refers to the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit, the seven sacraments
* 8 Maids A-milking refers to the 8 beatitudes
* 9 Ladies Dancing refers to the 9 Fruits of the Holy Spirit
* 10 Lords A-leaping refers to the 10 commandments
* 11 Pipers Piping refers to the 11 faithful apostles
* 12 Drummers Drumming refers to the 12 points of doctrine in the Apostle's Creed
Because of this, point (1) means that '''True Love''' (as it refers to a deity), should be capitalized.
Who'd ever thunk that this situation would even be brought up? -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 22:33, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
