The “Huron Carol“ (or “'Twas in the Moon of Wintertime“) is a Christmas hymn, written in 1643 by Jean de Brébeuf, a Christian missionary at Sainte-Marie among the Hurons in Canada. Brébeuf wrote the lyrics in the native language of the Huron/Wendat people; the song's original Huron title is “Jesous Ahatonhia“ (“Jesus, he is born“). The song's melody is a traditional French folk song, “Une Jeune Pucelle“ (“A Young Maid“). The well known English lyrics were written in 1926 by Jesse Edgar Middleton.
