A unique presentation, forming a fantastic Christmas gift, this spectacular collection is defined by pure silver coins, startling full-color designs, and Christmas tree case with real Christmas lights! The official release from the West African nation of Liberia comprises six legal tender coins. Crafted to immaculate Proof quality from half a troy ounce of pure. 999 silver, each of these coins is graced with an intricately detailed, fully struck-up design representing one of the traditional features of Christmas. An innovative, entirely fitting environment for such a vibrant Christmas tribute, each 6-coin set is housed within a unique Christmas tree case adorned with Christmas lights that burst into action at the touch of a button! One of the worlds most beloved Christmas carols, The Twelve Days of Christmas famously enumerates a series of increasingly grandiose gifts given on each of the twelve days of Christmas, ultimately leaving singers with 364-gifts from a true love. A cumulative song, each verse is built on top of the previous verses. It has been one of the most popular and oft-recorded Christmas songs in America and Europe throughout the past century. The Twelve Days of Christmas celebrates the period of merrymaking from the day after Christmas, December 26, to the Feast of the Epiphany, January 6, or, the Twelfth Day. Although the specific origins of the song are not known, it possibly began as a Twelfth Night memory-and-forfeits game, in which a leader recited a verse; each of the players repeated the verse; the leader added another verse, and so on, until one of the players made a mistake, with the player who erred paying an obligatory penalty, such as offering up a kiss or a sweet. This interpretation is substantiated within the earliest known printed version of the song in the childrens book Mirth without Mischief c. The song apparently is older than the printed version, though it is not known how much older. While the song is considered an English carol, textual evidence indicates that the song was not English in origin, but rather, French. Three French versions of the song are known. Halliwell reportedly first performed the song professionally in 1842. In the early 20th century, Frederic Austin wrote an arrangement that has since become standard. A bit of modern folklore claims that the songs lyrics were written as a catechism song to help young Catholics learn their faith at a time when practicing Catholicism was discouraged in England (1558 until 1829). However, there is no substantive evidence supporting this or similar claims, which in spite of a lack of historical data to support it, continues to proliferate since the advent of the Internet. Significantly, scholars point out that there exist no obvious relationships between the religious tenets to be memorized and the symbols used to represent them, and, there exists a great deal of variation in the list of tenets supposedly symbolized by the song. Interestingly, faith-based explanations of the song can be traced only as far back as the 1990s. Several scholars have hypothesized that the song may have been confused with, or borrows from, the format of another song, A New Dial, also known as In Those Twelve Days. Dating to at least 1625, A New Dial assigns religious meanings to each of the 12-days of Christmas, but not for the purpose of teaching a catechism. In a manner somewhat similar to the memory-and-forfeits performance of The Twelve Days of Christmas, A New Dial was recited in a question-and-answer format. And yet, around the world, The Twelve Days of Christmas is understood by most as a joyful song celebrating the Christmas season with imagery of gifts, dancing and music. In that regard, the songs likely origins in rural France take on greater significance when considering the fantastical nature of the gifts featured. Indeed, though historically enjoyed by all classes or segments of society, the carol may well have begun among poorer, agriculturally dependent classes of French society unable to afford expensive, store-bought gifts, with the tradition of exchanging gifts during Christmastime dating back at least as far as the 4th century. Coupled with the songs purported use as a memory-and-forfeits game (strongly supported by historical evidence via diaries and memoirs), the gifts of birds and of humans increasingly more active and merry with each verse take on enhanced meaning as representing extraordinary wealth and generosity out-of-reach for most of the populace. Considering European cultural traditions from medieval times through to the 19th century, the commonplace nature of the songs gifts offer modern eyes a unique window into the past, as each gift can be traced to centuries-old symbols of fertility or wealth. And so, The Twelve Days of Christmas remains to this day a beloved Christmastime classic a delightful celebration of love and merriment shared among family and friends.

Nemean Lion The Nemean lion was a vicious monster in Greek mythology that lived at Nemea. It was eventually killed by Heracles. It could not be killed with mortals’ weapons because its golden fur was impervious to attack. Its claws were sharper than mortals’ swords and could cut through any armor. Today, lions are not part of the Greek fauna. The Asiatic lion subspecies formerly ranged in southeastern Europe. According to Herodotus, lion populations were extant in Ancient Greece, until around 100 BC when they became extinct. The lion is usually considered to have been the offspring of Typhon (or Orthrus) and Echidna; it is also said to have fallen from the moon as the offspring of Zeus and Selene, or alternatively born of the Chimera. The Nemean lion was sent to Nemea in the Peloponnesus to terrorize the city. The first of Heracles’ twelve labours, set by King Eurystheus (his cousin) was to slay the Nemean lion. According to one version of the myth, the Nemean lion took women as hostages to its lair in a cave near Nemea, luring warriors from nearby towns to save the damsel in distress. After entering the cave, the warrior would see a woman (usually feigning injury) and rush to her side. Once he was close, the woman would turn into a lion and kill the warrior, devouring his remains and giving the bones to Hades.
