Seven swans a-swimming
represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit: Prophesy, Serving,
Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy
The price of Seven Swans-a-Swimming: $5250. In 2009, the price for seven swans is $5250.

The "true love" mentioned in the 12 days of Christmas song is not an earthly suitor, but refers to
God Himself. The "me" who receives the presents refers to every baptized person who is part
of the Christian Faith. Each of the "days" represents some aspect of the Christian Faith .
1 Corinthians 12:4-5 says, “There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.
There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.” God has given us each different gifts, but
they come from the same Spirit and are used to serve the same Lord. We were made to
glorify God, and God gives us these gifts to share with one another.
