Twelve Days of ChristmasOn Sunday, December 30, 2007, all three Worship Services will be based on the theme "The Twelve Days of Christmas". This carol originated in England, during a time when Catholics were persecuted. Seeming to be nonsense, each verse in fact, contained coded symbols for ancient Christian themes associated with the days of the Christmas observance. The services will feature carols associated with each of the twelve days. |
