Thursday of the Octave of Christmas

29 December 2011

Today is also the Feast Day of St.Thomas Becket.
A link has been added tracing the history of this saint.

"On the fifth day of Christmas...
       my true love sent to me.....
              five gold rings......"

Symbolism: The five gold rings is symbolic of the
                    Pentateuch or Torah....
                    the first five books of the Bible.
                   (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus,
                    Numbers & Deuteronomy)

Scripture:  "And they read from the book of the law of God, distinctly and plainly, so as to be understood. And when it was read, they did understand."
Nehemiah 8:8

Readings for the Day
     1 John 2:3-11
     Psalm 96
     Luke 2:22-35
