Twelve Days of Christmas - Day 6

On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

Six geese a-laying
Five gold(en) rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree!


Special Facts: The six geese allude to the six "days" in which God made the world. Of course, there's no proof that those were 24-hour days, since they say one day for God is the equivalent of a thousand years for us. Then again, with God, there's pretty much no such thing as "time."

Anyway, it's a deeply significant symbol just the same, especially with the part about the eggs. As we all know, an egg holds a goose's baby, and we are all God's children who have all received the blessed gift of life.
