Two Turtle Doves - A Small Token

Faith, Seasons, Christmas

"On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me - 2 turtle doves ... "

There are attempts to connect the gifts of the 12 days of Christmas to significant gifts or beliefs in Christianity. There has been no discovered author's notes, nor even an author to credit with the poem. As I thought about this one, what came to mind what the traditional sacrifice a couple would bring to the temple 8 days after their child was born.

Mary and Joseph traveled to Jerusalem to offer such a sacrifice (Luke 2:22-24). Another time, Jesus talks about the offering the widow brought to the temple - 2 small coins (Luke 21:1-4). As we rejoice in the birth of Christ, we also must look ahead to the sacrifice he makes on the cross - for us.

We are his true love.
