More days! In past times Catholics couldn't teach their faith to their children. So, it was hidden in a song for Christmas. The third day of Christmas my true-love sent three French hens to me. (These are the three virtues; Faith, Hope and Charity.) The fourth day he sent four colly (coal black) birds. (These are the four Gospels and the four Gospel writers; Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.)
