Christmas in the New England Colonies was, for the most part, just another day. Celebrating Christmas was outlawed in most of New England. Puritans and Protestants detested the entire celebration and likened it to 'pagan rituals.'
But, some colonists enjoyed an array of festivities, such as singing carols, decorating their homes and hosting feasts. We'll explore some of them with the Gounded Goodwife. Please register to get the Zoom link.
John Cilio presents "Secrets Your Parents Never Told You About the History of Christmas Carols."
Carols used to be sung all during the year, but only the tradition of singing them at Christmas has survived. Early Christians took over the pagan solstice galas for Christmas and substituted their own songs. Over the centuries the words and meanings of the songs have changed. Discover some of the fascinating legends and realities that surround the traditional songs of the season.
