Jesus is Born!

Enjoy learning about Canadian missionary St. Jean de Brebeuf, who composed The First Canadian Christmas Carol. Be sure to click on the graphic at the Lesson Tutor site to hear the musical presentation of the song. As you read about Brebeuf’s life, take into account how events in history contributed to his feeling toward the Christ-child and no doubt influenced his choice of words for this hymn. Find the home page of the Kididdles site and surf down the page. Check out Mojo’s Musical Mouseum. As a family, select a traditional melody that you all know. Collaborate in writing Christmas lyrics that fit the tune of the melody you select.



Sing the song and then discuss the following questions:



• What part does music play in the celebration of Christmas?

• What are other things that we can do to celebrate Christ’s birth?
