Eight Maids A Milking Ornament

“On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me eight maids a-milking...” The eighth in our Twelve Days of Christmas Ornament set is an exquisitely detailed image of a maid holding buckets of milk. While the song’s origins are unknown, many people hold that each gift symbolizes an important aspect of Christian faith. In this tradition, the 8 Maids a Milking represent the 8 Beatitudes, which Jesus Christ delivered during the Sermon on the Mount.

The center of this pewter ornament swivels up to 90 degrees, allowing you to add variety and dimension to your collection as it hangs in your tree.
