Holly Holy Day refers to the battle of Nantwich. Situated in Cheshire England, this medium size town was on the side of the Parliamentarians in the English Civil War and endured a six-week siege by the Royalist forces, many of whom were eventually captured and changed sides. After the siege was lifted, in January 1644, the local people marked the event in subsequent years by wearing sprigs of holly in their hats or on their clothing. The annual commemoration on January 25 became known as Holly Holy Day. While the song certainly sounds religious it is also something of a personal love narrative and may even refer to political liberation or freedom from religious persecution... Where I am, what I am What I believe in... |
