Stories of Christmas - As the Carolingian tradition begin?

No one goes in my neighborhood caroling more, but I remember the Christmas carols, others as a child. It 'was really something wonderful, almost magical in front after sunset, and sing these wonderful songs, putting smiles on people's faces.

It is unclear where and how the tradition of Christmas began. Some say that Christmas is derived from the French word Carole and means "art of dance" started from the 4th or 5th century AD, others say that Christmas carolswritten between the 12th and 13th century, Saint Francis of Assisi, a Catholic saint.

In the past, the Carol implementation of a traditional cultural dance any kind of music would accompany. In the French translation of the word is accompanied with singing. In ancient history there was no song attached.

St. Francis of Assisi, began a more familiar form of caroling by the combination of Christian Christmas songs with religious services. It is believedThese songs have been around the fourth or fifth century AD, praised the birth of Jesus Christ written.

But because Christmas Carol singers today are traveling in groups from house to house to sing and celebrate the season? It is believed that this part of the song develops in or around the 16th century, when the poor for their dinner, singing door to door until he has enough to eat and drink to sustain them for the night. The song as we know it today, was notall accepted in the United States until the late 19th Century, but became popular in England during the Victorian era.

Wherever it came from, I think it's a good way to celebrate and spread happiness.
