That's not entirely true. It's nice, but the origins lay more in medieval "chant, recite" type songs where a leader would sing out the new verse and everyone would sing it again, then recite all the previous verses.

See snopes.com (search for 12 days of christmas) for a full explanation of why the religious metaphor is probably not the actual origin of the song.
