CAROLS AS PART OF
THE CHRISTMAS
SERVICE.

<~HE origin Of the Christmas carol
W is uncertain. 1t is probably as
old as Christianity. Indeed,
Bishop Taylor in his Great Exemplar"
remarks that the first carol Is the
hymn Of the angels to the shepherds
in the plains of bethlehem:
GLORY to God In the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward men"
In the Fifteenth century carols were
widely used throughout Europe. In
fact. the first pieces printed by the
very first printers were carols. In one
Of the oldest collections appears The
Bonr's Head" which used to be sung
! as that old dish WINS carried to the
table during the Christmas revelry:
The Bears Head In hands 7 bring
With garlands gay and birds singing:
pray you all to help ms sing
"Qul cstis In c~onvivio!"
"The Boar's Head" represents one
Of the convivial carols or ".toIie chan
sons" which Ind their place at the
~fensts, dances and other gay festlyi-
ties Of the Christmas season.
In Shakespeare's time bands Of
itinerant singers used to wander about
the streets and make their carolry n
preteXt for getting money.
During the Eighteenth century carol
ry declined greatly, and many Of the
quaint old customs which had marked
Christmas festivals for centuries be-
came obsolete.
Carolry still exists in parts Of Eng
land.
In Wales II has been preserved to
Il still greater extent, while Ireland,
too, has her Christmas carOllng in
t~ime-honored style. France has It's
"Noels," ana In Italy Christmas carols
have been sung since the time of st.
Francis OF Assist, who discovered the
power of sacred son in the YER
nRcular.
In churches all over the world many
OF the delightful old carols are now a
pnrt Of the Christmas service.
