Carol ers took hands and formed a ring, singing as they went round. Oldest of all carols, it has been said, was that sung by the heavenly host when the birth of j the Saviour was announced to (the shepherds on the plains of 'Bethlehem. Probably, the prac j tlce of singing carols at Christ mas arose in imitations of this, as the majority of carols declar ed the good tidings of great joy. jand the title of Noel, n.iwell or novelle, applied to carols, would seem to bear out this idea.

These latter included such songs as "The Holly and The Ivy." Many of the surviving old carols wen* originally part of the medieval mysteries and mir acle plays. FIRST IN LATIN .. Christmas carols first were written in scholar's I^atin. The Blessed Jaeopone of Todi, of the Franciscan tinier, led the way to a witler enjoyment and apprecia tion of joyous Christmas s >ngs hy writing musical poems in the language of the common (icoplc. The saint, who lived from a bout 1230 I . 13t*i A.D.. had a good precedent for his interest in carols in St Francis himself.
