Christmas Carols




















Bestiaria Latina has a nice series going on with daily Latin Christmas Carols, plus beautiful nativity images. Here's today's -- the English carol Christ was Born on Christmas Day comes from this one:

Resonemus laudibus
cum jocunditatibus
ecclesiam fidelibus:
appanuit quem genuit Maria.

Deus fecit hominem
ad suum imaginem
et similitudinem:
apparuit quem genuit Maria.

Deus fecit omnia
caelum, terram, maria,
cunctaque nascentia:
apparuit quem genuit Maria.

Ero nostro contio
in chordis et organo
benedictat Domino:
apparuit quem genuit Maria

Et Deo qui venias
donat et laetitias
nos eidem gratias:
apparuit quem genuit Maria.
