For the Third Day of Christmas, Dec. 27th, the Feast of St. John the Evangelist, the key word is PEACE. The opening musical theme is a French horn solo inspired by Silent Night (Joseph Mohr).
This episode includes five illustrations ranging from the 6th to the 15th Century and several quotations from the Gospel of St. John and the Epistles of St. Paul to the Romans, Galatians and Philippians.
The series offers one episode for each of the twelve days beginning with Christmas Day and ending on Epiphany Eve with a key theological word or phrase for each day. I hope the episodes help you in the constant struggle against the over-commercialization of Christmas. May God grant you His peace in your life and work.
On the Second Day of Christmas, December 26th, the Feast of St. Stephen, Protomartyr, the key word is FORGIVENESS. In the AIC Seasonal Video series, The Twelve Days of Christmas, the theme music for the day is an adaptation of It Came Upon the Midnight Clear (Edward Hamilton Sears, 1846 A.D.).
Merry Christmas to all the followers of the Anglican Internet Church around the world. May the gracious Lord God bless you today and all the days to come.

The key phrase for Dec. 20th in the 12th C. observation, The Great “O” Antiphons, is O Radix Jesse, or Key of Jesse. It’s such a shame that the modern Church rarely uses these great teaching assets, but you can still enjoy and, hopefully, learn from them here.
The key word for December 19th is Adonai, the Hebrew word for Lord, for which the Latin and Greek equivalent is Kyrie.
