The Huron Carol, as it is known today, was written by Father Jean de Brébeuf, 2 Jesuit missionary, about 1641. He wanted to tell the Christmas story in terms the Indians could understand--speaking of Jesus as "The Great Spirit" and of the Wise Men as "three chiefs". 79 Ti "ginally in : phases § _ ' hea pe s".
