Do You Know What the First Christmas Carol Was?
We all know the words to jIngle bells and so many other great songs, but what was the very first song to celebrate the season?
Reader’s Digest found, “The first musical composition ever to be associated with the Christmas holiday was likely “Angels Hymn,” a piece dating back all the way to AD 129.”
Centuries later carolers line the streets with many beautiful hymns and young children sing sweet songs during school pageants to commemorate the season.
