Twelve Days of Christmas
Day Ten
January 3, 2013
On the tenth day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me...
Ten Lords A-leaping,
Nine Ladies Dancing,
Eight Maids A-milking,
Seven Swans A-swimming,
Six Geese A-laying,
Fiiivvve Gold Rings,
Four Calling Birds,
Three French Hens,
Two Turtle Doves,
and a Partridge in a Pear Tree.
Ten Lords represent
The Ten Commandments;
1) You shall have no other gods before me;
2) Do not make any idols;
3) Do not take God's name in vain;
4) Remember the Sabbath Day;
5) Honor your father and mother;
6) Do not murder;
7) Do not commit adultery;
8) Do not steal;
9) Do not bear false witness;
10) Do not covet.
(Exodus 20:1-17)
