The most beautiful carol ever sung,

every year in Bethlehem in the church

Christmas carols are as old as the
Christmas era.
The first Christmas carol was sung
by the angels to the shepherds of Judea.
They sung GLORY to God in the High
est, and On Earth. Peace, Coco VIII
Toward Men" The startled shepherds
heard the words ana remembered them
and sung them again the following
year, and the year after, and for long
Christmas ewes before the Holy Script
perpetuated them forever.
The Christmas carol comes from a
Latin word-caroleTe, which means TO
sing songs of joy" At one time the
word caTll degenerated and meant
carousal and in the year 672 the bish-
ops forbade an indulgence in Carols
and diabolical things on the feast Of St.
John the Baptist"
Later the carol again regained its
prestige and became a beautiful song Of
JOY, especially appropriate for Christ
mas,
For the last 900 years the word carol
has become more and more frequent in
literature, and it is nov taken for a
beautiful.
