Twelve Days of Christmas <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Twelve Days of Christmas begins on Christmas Day, the birth of Jesus Christ and goes to the Epiphany, the acknowledgment by the magi that Jesus Christ is the Savior, Son of God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our classic twelve days song is theorized to have a fundamental relationship to the religious based twelve days of Christmas in the following manner: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
