Third Carol for Christmas Day
Third Carol for Christmas Day
One of Fr William Devereux's carols which is no longer sung at Kilmore; formerly it was sung before Mass on Christmas Day. The air has been preserved in the Devereux family and was taken down from the singing of John Devereux, Kilmore, 1949. The last time this carol was sung was about 150 years ago when Peter Devereux, John's grandfather, sang on the Kilmore choir for the first time.
