“Carol of the Bells” is a popular Christmas carol, which is based on the Ukrainian New Year’s song “Shchedryk“. The music for the carol comes from the song written by the Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych in or before 1916; the English-language lyrics were written in 1936 by American composer of Ukrainian origin Peter Wilhousky.

The sing is performed here by Bria Blessing whom is a singer/songwriter from Sugar Land, TX, well-known among Ukrainian communities both in Ukraine and around the world after she lived in Ukraine 25 years and participated in Ukraine’s “The Voice”.

Every time you hear this song during this season, please think of Ukraine and pray for their victory and peace.
