<p> (Νοεβά ), a corrupt Graecized form (1 [[Esdras]] 5:31) of the name elsewhere given (Ezra 2:48) as NEKODA (See [[Nekoda]]) (q.v.). (or NOWELL), a word which occurs very frequently in old carols, is by many supposed (and with good reason) to be derived from natalis, the birthday of Christ. The word Noel was used as a cry of joy, and was "sung at Angers during the eight days preceding Christmas," and now the word [[Christmas]] is thus expressed in the modern French also. The Portuguese, Irish, and [[Welsh]] terms for Christmas evidently, too, come from this source. But, on the other hand, Nowell is very frequently used in the sense of news or tidings, and, besides, was used as a "joyful exclamation not absolutely confined to Christmas." The following lines from "Ane compendious booke of [[Godly]] and [[Spiritual]] Sangs," seem to strengthen this interpretation: </p> <p> "I come from Hevin to tell </p> <p> The best Nowell is that ever befell: To you this things trew I bring." </p> <p> And, again, in a 15th century carol: </p> <p> "Gabryell of hygh degree, </p> <p> [[Came]] down from the Trenyte, </p> <p> To [[Nazareth]] in Galilee, With Nova." </p> <p> Christmas evergreens, the holly and the ivy, form the subject of many an old carol. The "Holly Carol," most popular and familiar to us, details at length the various symbolical references this favored evergreen bears to the incarnation of [[Christ]] the Lord, e.g.: </p> <p> "The holly bears a berry </p> <p> As red as any blood, </p> <p> And [[Mary]] bore sweet [[Jesus]] Christ </p> <p> To do poor sinners good. </p> <p> The holly bears a prickle </p> <p> As sharp as any thorn, </p> <p> And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ On Christmas day in the morn." </p> <p> (See [[Christmas]]); (See [[Nativity]]). a French clergyman of the [[Roman]] [[Catholic]] Church, flourished as abbe of St. [[Nicholas]] of Angers from 1080 until his death in 1096. It was during his government that pope [[Urban]] II came to Angers and consecrated the church of St. Nicholas. At the time abbe Noel was near the end of his life — he died only a few days later. The authors of the Histoire litteraire de la [[France]] attribute to Juhel d'Artins, abbe of La Couture, in Mans, a Histoire des miracles de saint Nicolas, bishop of Myre, a considerable fragment of which is found in No. 498 of the MSS. of St. Germain. This attribution is erroneous, and the work ought to be attributed to abbe Noel. Some extracts from the IS. of St. Germain, published in the Gallia Christiana, clearly demonstrate it as his work. See Hist. litt. de la France, t. viii; Gallia Christ. t. xiv, col 473, 670. </p> | |||
