The Sans Day Carol

The music playing is the Sans Day Carol first transcribed in the 19th century from the singing of a villager in St. Day (also Sans Day, or St. They - named after a Breton saint venerated in Cornwall) in the parish of Gwennap,

Now the holly bears a berry as white as the milk,
And Mary bore Jesus, all wrapped up in silk:

Chorus

And Mary bore Jesus our Saviour for to be,
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly.
Holly! Holly!
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly!

Chorus

Now the holly bears a berry as green as the grass,
And Mary bore Jesus, who died on the cross:

Chorus

Now the holly bears a berry as black as the coal,
And Mary bore Jesus, who died for us all:

The Cornish L-list is a mailing list for researchers of ancestors who either lived in Cornwall, UK or emigrated from Cornwall to the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and many other location. The list is normally a place for serious  research into family history, but each year  we also have the virtual party. This years party was held at Jamaica Inn, Bolventor from the 12th to the 17th and then at The Tregenna Hotel St Ives from the 18th to the 20th.

If you are not a list member, and would like to see what the revellers got up to, you need to click HERE which will take you to the archive page. Then put christmas party 2004 in the query box and click 2004 as the year.

You can also find a summary on the site click on the blue headings to go to a new page. So keep coming back and don't forget to renew the page on each visit. 

Hope you enjoy

A Flag to Fly Over Cornwall

There has been report that you need planning permission to fly the flag of St Piran in Cornwall. As a result: of this -

Queen Corinne-Cheeky Saffron-Helper The Admiral, Her Incomparable Eminence, The Honorable Slayer of Toorak (I think the S in slayer is silent as she is aka "The Toorak Tart"). suggested that the knitters group knit a virtual St. Piran's Flag, large enough to fly over the whole of Cornwall?
