THE SONG
♬ On the third day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:
Three French Hens
Two Turtle Doves
and a Partridge in Pear Tree.
Why Three French Hens on the third day of Christmas? The three hens represent the three theological virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity. These were given by God and poured into our hearts. The three hens are also symbolic of the Holy Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
(Praise God, from Whom All Blessings Flow, Lutheran Service Book #805)
Almighty God, holy blessed Trinity, thank You for being my Creator, Redeemer and Sanctifier. Holy God, I praise Your name. Amen.
Have a blessed Third Day of Christmas!
Pastor David Paape
