  • The History of Christmas Carols

    Christmas carols didn't become associated with the church or the Christmas holiday until after the Middle Ages when the early Christians replaced the pagan songs with religious hymns, and made the solstice celebration into a celebration of the birth of Jesus. In AD 129, the "Angel's Hymn" became a part of a Roman Christmas service.Why Christmas: ...Christmas Carols

    In 1223, St. Francis of Assisi is credited with promoting a new surge of carols that began with stories sung during his Nativity Plays. The singing of carols continued until the 1647 rule of the Puritans in England, when they were not allowed, and did not become popular again until the Victorian era.Why Christmas: ...Christmas Carols
