From the research I've read, the song is not actually *originally* religious in nature. Not to say it can't symbolize more meaning now. :)
Hey, did you know the first 7 gifts are all bird related? The five golden rings has to do with ring-necked birds, like pheasants. And it's suppose to be "4 colly birds" - colly meaning black, supposedly. Funny!
Too fun.
