[Salvation]

On the eleventh day of Christmas my True Love gave to me, eleven
pipers piping.
The eleven pipers represent the eleven original Apostles who
remained faithful to Jesus.
These Apostles are Andrew, Bartholomew, James the Greater,
James the Lesser, John, Jude, Matthew, Thomas, Philip, Simon and
Peter. Although Peter denied Jesus before the Crucifixion, he is
included in this list because he repented of his mistake.

[Salvation]

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my True Love gave to me, twelve
drummers drumming.
The twelve drummers represent the twelve precepts of the Faith
presented in the Apostle's Creed. The translation of the Creed given
in the Catechism is given below.
1. I believe in God, the father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
2. I believe in Jesus Christ his only son, our Lord.
3. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the
Virgin Mary.
4. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried.
5. He descended into hell.
6. On the third day he rose again.
7. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
9. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
10. I believe in the Holy Spirit,
11. the holy catholic Church, the communion
of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
12. the resurrection of the body, and
the life everlasting.
Amen
