Hello everyone! 👋
How was your Christmas? I hope you spent some time relaxing and enjoying the holiday! 🎄
The traditional Catholic custom (which many nowadays have forgotten) is to celebrate Jesus' birth for 40 days after December 25th, ending on February 2nd with the feast of Candlemas! So while a lot of people have already put their festive decorations away, others are still commemorating this pivotal moment in history! 🥳 In that spirit, I present to you a traditional Christmas hymn that probably originated in the 14th century, and Gustav Holst arranged the organ accompaniment. I love the bright and happy feel of it! 😄
Because it is comprised of 4 verses with the same melody, I invite you to focus on and contemplate the words. 🙏 I have included in the video the original Latin words, plus a literal translation into English.
May God bless you!
~ Sarah 💕
