Judy Collins suns this traditional nativity ballad, thought to date back to the 15th century. The story tells of the fetus Jesus performing a miracle by lowering the bow of a cherry tree so that Mary can reach and pick the fruit. This clip comes from a 1996 performance at the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina, available on the 1997 DVD release titled "Judy Collins - Christmas at the Biltmore Estate." Look for more clips from the concert here on YouTube's Judy Collins Channel.

Yes, it is a magical rendition, I love it's lilting tempo and of course, Judy's voice. Cindy Kallet also does a beautiful version.

Joseph holds the unique distinction of being STEPfather to the Son of God. BTW an angel was dispatched to tell Joseph that it was good to marry Mary, that her baby was from the Holy Spirit, then later to flee to Egypt, then again when it was safe to return home. Joseph was God's man for the ultimate mission.

The words are unfair to Joseph though, who was cherry-picked by The Father to be the Protector of the Family of our Savior! If he had not listened to the angel who told him to flee to Egypt, all would have been lost! The fate of mankind hinged on the decision of wonderful Joseph! We owe him one, same as Mary & of course Yahushua, King of Kings & Lord of Lords! (:D Have a great ChristmasEveryDay, Everybuddy!!!

Great voice, but the tempo is too fast for me. I prefer Jody Miller's version.

What do you mean "No angel comes to Joseph"? An angel does appear to Joseph and reassure him that what Mary says is true. Matt 1:20

Yes, that's the song. You can hear a snippet of it on the Amazon listing for the Christmas album. You can also buy the MP3 of the entire song on Amazon. The song is written by Eric Andersen, Jonas Fjeld and Ole Paus. Jonas sings backup with Judy on the chorus of the recording.

"Angels in the Snow"?....Is that the Eric Andersen song that he wrote and performed worldwide with Rick Danko and Jonas Fjeld? If so it's a wonderful song with verses in Norwegian and English. Ms Collins has had a decades-long friendship with Eric and has performed "covers" of much of his work. THANK YOU for this post, glad I subscribed!
