Five years before the birth of our Lord, a Native American named Samuel boldly proclaimed a message of angels to the opposing tribe:
"And behold, there shall a new star arise, such an one as ye never have beheld; and this also shall be a sign unto you." "...then cometh the Son of God to redeem all those who shall believe on his name."
Several centuries later, the descendants of Samuel's own tribe learned of the same angelic message from a foreign missionary, adapted to the language of the indigenous people. This message was named the Huron Carol, and is the oldest known Canadian Christmas Carol! But whether from the tongue of Angels, Natives, or Europeans, the message is the same to whole world - from the "true north" to the far eastern orient.
