The holly and the ivy,
when they are both full grown,
of all the trees
that are in the wood,
the holly bears the crown.
The holly bears a berry
as red as any blood,
and Mary bore
sweet Jesus Christ
to do poor sinners good.
A Blessed Christmas to You!
The earliest known printed version of “The Holly and the Ivy,” dating from 1710, demonstrate that the carol was well -established by then.
From a hand-painted watercolor by Benedictine monk Father Philip Kanfush, O.S.B. The Archabbey Artisans logo is inscribed on the back.
