The melody for this carol is an old English folk song, and the lyrics date to at least the early 18th century. But the sacred symbolism of holly and ivy extends even further back into medieval England. Holly and ivy have been customary Christmas decorations since the late medieval period. Here, Megan Hilty joins The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra to sing the popular carol.
