Twelve Days of Xmas Trivia

[Eva Elisabeth]

For those of you not familiar with Western ecclesiastical traditions - The Twelve Days of Christmas, or Twelvetide, is the time it took the three magi, or wise men, to travel to Bethlehem for the Epiphany (January 6), the revelation of Jesus Christ as the savior and the son of God ("epiphany" is Greek for "revelation"). Hence, the Twelve Days are 25 December – 5 January, inclusive.

Since I had to skip the traditional Trivia Advent Calendar and Twelvetide is supposed to be a similar time of merriment and awaiting I thought it would make a good substitute occasion for a daily trivia challenge. (And as Laurie reminded of on another thread it doesn't harm to remember/know the original meaning and story of the season as part of Western tradition/culture (and history?), whatever your believe...BTW Epiphany is another public holiday in some states over here and in Austria, and Xmas break in schools/universities in both countries is throughout Twelvetide, which made this thread possible at all, just to say.)

And for those who are familiar with the traditional song:

... there's a supposed symbolism behind each gift:
#1 - A Partridge in a Pear Tree - Jesus Christ

Here comes #1 in terms of trivia:
   
Where is the tree Mr. Lincoln is gazing at?
