It is believed to date from the 17th century, possibly by Nicholas Saboly (1614-1675).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike many carols it tells a story. The best-known version is the translation by Edward Cuthbert Nunn (1868-1914) which begins:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBring a torch, Jeannette, Isabella!\u003cbr\u003eBring a torch to the cradle, run!\u003cbr\u003eIt is Jesus, good folk of the village;\u003cbr\u003eChrist is born and Mary's calling:\u003cbr\u003eAh! Ah! beautiful is the Mother\u003cbr\u003eAh! Ah! beautiful is her Son!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe custom of acting out a scene beside the cradle of Jesus goes back to the middle ages. In southern Europe the torches, or candles, of Chanukah -- the Jewish Festival of Lights -- played an important part in Christmas celebrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe carol should be played simply and with forward motion but without haste.
