On the 9th Day of Christmas

Nine ladies dancing  symbolizes Nine fruit of the Spirit – Gal. 5:22-23

Forbearance is restraint, tolerance, patience, resignation, endurance, fortitude, stoicism

8th Day of Christmas

Eight maids a-milking represents Eight beatitudes – Matt. 5-7

The Beatitudes are eight blessings recounted in the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew. Each is a proverb-like proclamation, without narrative, “cryptic, precise, and full of meaning. Each one includes a topic that forms a major biblical theme”. Four of the blessings also appear in the Sermon on the Plain in the Gospel of Luke, followed by four woes which mirror the blessings.

Each Beatitude consists of two phrases: the condition and the result. In almost every case the condition is from familiar Old Testament context, but Jesus teaches a new interpretation. Together, the Beatitudes present a new set of Christian ideals that focus on a spirit of love and humility. They echo the ideals of the teachings of Jesus on mercy, spirituality, and compassion.
