This version of “In the Bleak Midwinter” (https://youtu.be/UfsbnewzIVE?si=gsZgdoEBSFdDoScU) was composed as a hymn by Gustav Holst 🇬🇧 and is arranged by super cool, virtuoso cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason🇬🇧 (performing here with his also super cool, also super talented older sister Isata Kanneh-Mason)

While “In the Bleak Midwinter” is about the nativity, it’s setting is in the winter which doesn’t line up with the generally accepted time of Christ’s birth (springtime. Also, it rarely snows in Palestine, even less so in the spring??) and some have theorized that the use of “winter” is a metaphor but.. who knows what Rossetti was thinking

“In the Bleak Midwinter” is an 1872 poem by English Pre-Raphaelite poet Christina Rossetti (December 5, 1830 – December 29, 1894), who’s is mostly known for her devotional and children’s poetry.

I’m a white, middle class, cis, male, old, boomer, boring person and I agree with Sheku, one hundred percent
