Christmas Carol Songs play an important
role in Christmas celebration. 25th
of December is celebrated as Christmas.
It is the most important day for Christians
as it is the birthday of Jesus Christ.
During the festival, people go to
church and pray to God for peace and
happiness. They sing Christmas songs
which are also known as Christmas
Carols. Christmas Carols are based
on Christian lyrics and Biblical stories.
Christmas Carol songs are also popular
as Noel. It is an old ritual to sing
pious Christmas Carols in the church
during Christmas celebration.
Italy was the birthplace of the first
Christmas Carol song. Saint Francis
of Assisi introduced Christmas song
in the 13th century. He wrote a beautiful
Christmas song in Latin. Then he composed
that Christmas song in Italian but
there is no evidence of this incident.
Christmas songs are called Christmas
carols. Carols were written in the
5th century in Latin. Jesus refulsit
omnium (Jesus, light of all the nations)
was one of the earliest Latin carols
by saint Hilary of Poitiers.
Carol, the word came from French
word 'Caroller', which means dancing
around in a circle. ‘Music’
and ‘lyric’, these two words
are also associated with the word
Carol.
In England, Oliver Cromwell banned
the Christmas Carols as he was a staunch
Protestant. During the Victorian era,
Christmas Carols were again popularized
with all its features. In 19th century,
these Carols were very popular in
United States as well as in England,
as both the countries have been closely
connected through the centuries.
Earlier the Christams carol songs
had no mention of Santa Claus, reindeer
or bear. But gradually with time these
have become a part of christmas celebrations
as well as christmas carol songs.
Christmas carol songs praise Lord
Jesus and its beautiful lyrics stand
for the prevalence of peace and truth
on earth.
Christmas songs are also very famous
among kids. These songs are simple
as well as beautiful. There are so
many varieties of Christmas Carol
songs like –
