The Christmas Carol.
Z Christmas carols originated. 1t IS
thought, In the eleventh century.
They were sang between the scenes
Of the mystery and miracle piays.
These plays were the popular form q
religious Entertainment. and between
the scenes It was tte custom to intro
duce songs dealing with the redemr-
ton OF mankind.
The songs naturally became fixed In
mas gathering later It was custom
mary to call upon each person pres
ept to sing, and the merrymakars
generally sang songs which had been
handed down by their fathers. So
those that were sung at the plays
iemerged as Christmas songs, and
thus the carol was evolved.
r During the time OF Oliver Crom-

when Charles II came to England's
