Carol of the Day: Dec 8th · 9:35pm Dec 8th, 2019
Today's carol comes from the Great White North. This is Canada's oldest christmas song, Huron Carol, as performed by the Five Fifths.
The carol was written circa 1642 by Jean de Brébeuf, a Jesuit missionary to the Hurons in Ontario, Canada. Using the indigenous cultural imagery, Jean translated the nativity story into Wendat.
