Ngokutsho kweengcali kunye neelwimi, igama elithi "carol" lithathwe kwigama lesiLatini elithi "iikhalenda", oko kuthetha ukuba "ngowokuqala ngenyanga okanye ngowokuqala kunyaka." Kwaye, ukuzalwa kukaKristu kukuphela kweholide yokuqala kwonyaka. Kodwa ngokwenene i-carols yabonakala ixesha elide ngaphambi kokuzalwa kukaKristu, kwaye kwakungekho iKrisimesi, kodwa iidumiso zintlanga zidumisa amandla emvelo. Amahedeni adumisa ukunqoba kokulungileyo phezu kobubi, evuya ukuba omnye unzima unyaka sele uphele.

Ukuzalwa kukaKristu kubonakalise ixesha elitsha ebomini babantu, kuba ngumcimbi obalulekileyo kwindlela yokusindiswa kwemiphefumlo yabantu abakholwa kuye. Ngethuba kunye nomhla kunyaka ngokuvisisana neeholide yamahedeni ye-solstice yasebusika. Yaye ingoma yamandulo yasemgangathweni yanciphisa ingoma yeKrismesi. Kwaye intsingiselo yegama elithi "carol" yatshintsha kakhulu intsingiselo yayo. Ngoku iifesi zeKrismesi zaqala ukubizwa ngengoma ecolileyo, apho ukuzalwa kukaKristu kudunyiswa khona, kwaye abazali bakhe bayakudunyiswa, kwaye ekugqibeleni iiminqweno zempilo nolonwabo kubanikazi bendlu kunye nawo onke amalungu omkhaya aphilileyo. AmaCzech, amaSerbia kunye namaBulgaria "ajikeleze isondo" uthetha ukuvuyiswa ngeKrismesi. AmaSlovaks "ukuhlawula" kuthetha ukusikelela kuNyaka omtsha. Kwi-Slavs yaseTrans-Danubian, "isipho" sisipho seKrisimesi noNyaka omtsha.

"Kuwe uKristu wazalwa kuwe, uKristu wazalwa!"

Ubusuku bulile, ubusuku bungcwele,

Apho baya kubona uKristu, baya kubona uKristu apho.
