2020 - Christmas Music of the Day #20 - The Wexford Carol, Tabernacle Choir on Temple Square
This song has been done by several artists, one of which is Alison Kraus. I posted her version earlier this month.
But this is the version that gets me every time.
From Wikipedia we read the following, "The Wexford Carol (Irish: Carúl Loch Garman, Carúl Inis Córthaidh) is a traditional religious Irish Christmas carol originating from County Wexford and, specifically, Enniscorthy (whence its other name).[1] The subject of the song is the nativity of Jesus Christ.
"The Wexford Carol", sometimes known by its first verse "Good people all this Christmas time", is of uncertain origins and while it is occasionally claimed to be from the early Middle Ages, it likely was composed in the 15th or 16th century based on its musical and lyrical style."
I personally believe Christmastime is a time to look inward at things we could improve on. I have many, and perhaps you do, too.
As you listen and watch this video, I would encourage you to watch it twice. Are there people that perhaps you need to forgive.
Do you need to be forgiven?
Put yourself in the place of both brothers, and see which one you are today.
