This lovely Christmas Carol was written, in the Huron language, by the French Jesuit, St Jean de Brebeuf who was martyred in Canada in 1649. This version is sung in English by the Canadian Tenors. I WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS
& MANY BLESSINGS IN 2012.
And a merry and blessed Christmas to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteLovely! One of my favourite Christmas Carols.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Buttecup
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind wishes. It is a sad Christmas for Christians in Nigeria isn't it? We are so very blessed to have the freedom to worship. God help those who still suffer for their faith.
God bless you, my friend.
Good Morning Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteHow nice to hear from lovely Canada! Thank you for looking in & for taking the time to comment. I agree with you, this is a very beautiful carol. St John de Brebeuf was a great man. My first meeting with him was in the poem by E J Pratt, "Brebeuf and His Brethren". A long but excellent poem & tribute.
A Happy Christmas to you & yours, Elizabeth. God bless you.
