Angels
Angels are Immortal spirits that appear to mankind at important moments. They appear to man as messengers of god, bringing messages of comfort, warnings, tests of belief and deliverance. They are also bringers of peace and goodwill. The New Testament tells how the Angel of the Lord appeared to the shepherds keeping watch over their flocks to bring them good tidings of great joy, the Birth of Christ, and the multitude of angels proclaimed, Glory to God in the highest and on earth, peace, goodwill toward men.

Christmas Music.
Music was an early feature of the Christmas season and its celebrations. But the first chants, litanies, and hymns were in Latin and too theological for popular use. The 13th century found the rise of the carol written in the vernacular under the influence of Francis of Assisi. Select this link to view our Crystal Angel Pins.
In the Middle Ages, the English combined circle dances with singing and called them carols.
Later, the word carol came to mean a song in which a religious topic is treated in a style that is familiar or festive. From Italy, it passed to France and Germany, and later to England. Music in itself soon became one of the greatest tributes to Christmas, and Christmas music includes some of the noblest compositions of the great musicians.

The First Noel.
The First Noel is a traditional English Christmas carol, most likely form the 16th or 17th century, but possibly from as early as the 13th century. In its current form it is of Cornish origin and was first published in “Some Ancient Christmas Carols” in 1823 and “Christmas Carols, Ancient and Modern” in 1833. the melody is unusual among English folk melodies in that it consists of essentially the same musical phrase repeated three times and ends in the third of the scale. It is thought to be a corruption of an earlier melody sung in a church gallery setting. Select this link to view our Nativity Scene with Angel.
