Since the 1300s, caroling has been almost synonymous with Christmas. The first carols, however, were used during Advent, Epiphany and Easter but only later became associated with Christmas. The word "carol" comes from the Old French "carole," which was a spirited dance with musical accompaniment. During the Middle Ages, a carol came to be any religious song with several refrains, strong rhythms and a characteristic lilt.
Most carols sung today come from France, Germany and the United States. France contributed "Angels We Have Heard On High," while Germany produced "Silent Night" and "Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming." America is best known for "O Little Town of Bethelem" and "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear."
