Description:

we wish you a blessed Christmas a happy new year The popular carol "The 12 Days of Christmas" was created at a time when Catholicism was outlawed in England. Each verse can refer to a Church teaching with “true love” representing God the Father, giver of all gifts. On the seventh day of Christmas—December 31—the seven swans a-swimming represent the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. The 12 days of Christmas occur between December 25th and Epiphany on January 5, the traditional day for celebrating the arrival of the magi and the revelation of Christ as the light of the world. This year the Church will celebrate Epiphany on Sunday, January 3, 2021.Turning to God's Word now offers a free digital version of our most popular Catholic Bible study, Scripture and the Rosary: New Testament Mysteries, Old Testament Parallels. This study, which has been granted an imprimatur, looks at the biblical foundations of the Rosary. Lessons covering the Joyful Mysteries can be downloaded through the Christmas season ending with the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord on January 10. They will be replaced then with lessons on the Luminous Mysteries. Visit our Scripture and the Rosary directory for more information. Scripture the Rosarystart the liturgical year with prayerMichelangelo's famous statue of Moses sports horns as the result of a translation error made by St. Jerome. The patron of translators mistook the Hebrew word in the book of Exodus 34:29 describing Moses' face as "radiant in glory" to mean "horned." The error was compounded in 1515 when Michelangelo carved horns on his marble portrayal of Moses, which can be seen in the Church of San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome.
