“The First Noel” originated in Cornwall, England during the 13th or 14th century and was created to express the excitement and wonder of Christmas. Cornish people sang it in the streets as a way to spread hope and joy, and though the world may look very different today, we still gather to sing the song for the same reasons. The song is a testament to the fact that no matter what the earth looks like, no matter how much time passes, the encouraging story of Jesus will always connect with the hearts that are desperate for Him.
