There are not many festivals in the church calendar that attract such a significant number of liturgical occasions supported by words and music as Christmas and the New Year. In some areas of Poland, this period includes Advent which is an integral part of the religious focus of the celebration of the birth of Christ. Given that until now, there has been no monographic work dedicated to carols in Pomerania, against a backdrop of carol singing in the broader sense, it is the intention of the author to provide an insight from the perspective of an insider. On the basis of documentary evidence (manuscripts and printed matter), a carol genre spanning four centuries can be observed in Kashubia. The genre developed within the following three directions which frequently co-existed:
- church works, historically the oldest, first mentioned in 1586,
- folk music, first mentioned in 1843,
- traditional, regional music from the 1930s onwards.
