Twelve Days of Christmas!! What a fun song we all remember from our childhood. But is it just a fun song?

Actually, the song was written in the 16th century for the children as a way to help them remember some of the religious teachings. For instance “A Partridge in a Pear Tree” symbolized Jesus and Two Turtle Doves represented the old and new testament of the Bible.

It has evolved through the ages to the present day song that refers to the 12 days from December 25th to January 6th known as epiphany.

Whatever the meaning, the hand blown glass ornaments pictured above create a beautiful tree. All are handcrafted and hand painted by the best artisans and imported from Poland.
