Summary/Abstract: This item of research is to demonstrate the hypothesis according to which Christmas carols for girls and lads originated in ancient, marriage-related gestures that gradually turned into symbolic actions (coupled with afferent songs) and were later on integrated into youth carols’ discourse as updated messages (marriage-related good wishes). This hypothesis resulted in the author’s works such as: Symbol’s Coming into Being (1975) and Christmas Carols’ Poetry (2006), as well as in a series of articles written on this topic.
