MCA (DC area) is celebrating Christmas Caroling from house
to house in the community. The group was visited Baltimore area on Dec 08, 2012
and Gaithersburg area on Dec 15, 2012. They sang many Christmas songs and let
the houses know that Jesus is born. MCA is planing to visit to Virgina area on Dec 22, 2012.
According to http://www.christmascarnivals.com, Saint
Francis Assisi plays a major role in the history of Christmas Caroling, as he
is the person who made Christmas Carols an important part of the church
services. It is said that Saint Francis Assisi introduced the carols in the
church during a Christmas Midnight Mass in a Church in Greccio, in the province
of Umbria in 1223 and the songs sung that night were more similar to carols
rather than hymns. Carols gained more popularity when they were made a part of
the mystery plays of the middle ages.
