Fourth Day of Christmas

4. On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me a ballerina doll:

Nothing epitomizes grace and balance like a ballerina, and a good wife even more so. A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies….She is clothed with strength and dignity (Proverbs 31:10,25).

And from Something Sublime:

The four calling birds represent the four Gospels of the Bible; Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The Gospels are God's written word proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ's life, death and resurrection and record many of Jesus' own words. The four calling bird evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, sang out a song of salvation, through Christ, to the world. The 12 apostles, including the four New Testament evangelists, paid a high price for their testimony. Traditionally, all 12 apostles died martyr's deaths. See here and here for more info.
