Once again, if you’re keeping score, you currently have, three French hens, four turtledoves and three partridges with their trio of pear trees (10 gifts.)
The three French hens symbolize the three theological virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity. The hens, being french, will not associate with the common turtle doves – leave plenty of room between the cage. (Bonus points with the St. John’s Rosary Altar Society – it’s the Feast day of St. John the Apostle.)
