Most people think The Twelve Days of Christmas is just a fun, nonsensical holiday song—but it actually carries a powerful, faith-filled history. In this video, I share the true story behind this 16th-century Christmas carol, written during a time when Christians were forbidden to openly practice their faith. Believers used this song as a secret code to pass down biblical truth to their children—when even speaking the name of Jesus could cost them their lives.
This is Part 1 of a 13-video Christmas series, where I’ll reveal the hidden meaning behind each gift in The Twelve Days of Christmas—uncovering the sacred truths woven into this beloved carol. It all begins with this powerful reminder: The “True Love” is God Himself. John 3:16 says, For God so loved YOU that He sent His Son! No one loves you like He does!
Prayer: Thank You, Father, for Your unconditional love and for the freedom we have to worship You. Help us use that freedom to love and serve others this Christmas season.
Question to Ponder: How am I using my freedom to worship—and to share God’s love with others today?
