Some believe that the folk carol is even ancestor to the ballad. The word carol‘s earliest meaning seems to have indicated a ring dance and there is much reason to believe that the folk ballads had their origin in stories sung to a dance probably. around the 14th century in Europe. ‘ By SCOOT IRWIN ®t is believed ‘by many that earols are imerely the modern kymns sung in church at Christâ€" mas time and for the most part are eompositions of the last cenâ€" Living History N.

The story, not found in official church writings, tells of Jesus at the age of eleven being chastised by Mary for building a bridge of sunbeams across a river to boastfully demonstrate his divine power to neighbor chilâ€" dren who refused to play with such a humble born child. The "bridge of sunbeams" miracle has been traced from Egypt to Ireland, and to the lives of the medieval saints.
