How old is the Christmas carol 'Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella'?
It is thought the French Christmas carol 'Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella' dates back to the 17th century, having first appeared in print in 1668 in a collection of Provençal carols by Nicolas Saboly.
It was translated into English in the 18th century.
The carol is about two farm hands - Jeanette and Isabella - coming across baby Jesus and Mary in a stable and rushing to tell local villagers, who come to visit.
