.....A Partridge in a Pear Tree*Did you know?
Some early traditions hold that this song was used as a teaching tool to teach young people of various denominations in the Christian faith. The Partridge in the Pear Tree is Jesus on the cross. The bird imagery can also be seen as symbolic of Christ's teachings "as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings." (See Luke 13:34). So instead of sharing a treat on your front porch and then running off I thought this would be a fun way to share the "Twelve days of Christmas."
