On the Eighth Day of Christmas.


 

“On the eight day of Christmas, my true love sent to me. Eight maids are milking, seven swans a swimming, six geese’s a laying, five golden rings. Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.” Christmas Carol, The twelve days of Christmas.

Isaiah 55:1,

Oh, come to the water all you who are thirsty; though you have no money, come! Buy corn without money, and eat, and, at no cost, wine and milk.

Eight maids are milking represents, the eight beatitudes.

1.      Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.

2.      Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

3.      Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

4.      Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

5.      Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

6.      Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God.

7.      Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be call children of God.

8.      Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:3-10
