Today we celebrate the Memorials of St. Basil the Great and St. Gregory of Nazianzen.
"On the ninth day of Christmas...
my true love gave to me....
nine ladies dancing..."
Symbolism: The "nine ladies dancing" symbolize the nine Fruits of the Holy Spirit.
(The Fruits of the Holy Spirit are sometimes listed as 9 subjects and sometimes listed as 12 subjects.)

Galatians 5:22-23
