Editing Christmas carol (section)

====Andorra and Catalan-speaking territories====
The ''Nadala'' or ''Cançó de Nadal'' (in plural ''nadales'') are a popular group of songs, usually requiring a chorus, that are song from [[Advent]] until [[Epiphany (holiday)|Epiphany]]. Their written versions starts in the 15th century. In the past were usually being song by [[shepherds]] and their families in market squares and in front of churches.

The ''Nadala'' origins are uncertain but usually cited to be related with the [[Montseny]] and [[Pedraforca]] mountains in [[Catalonia]] (by the counties of [[County of Urgell|Osona]] and [[County of Cerdanya|Girona]]). As quite a few have references to mythological events and powers, some authors claim that they contain part of the religion that was present in the territory before [[Christianity]] arrived as it was kept alive in these mountainous regions.

The ''nadala'' is usually paired with the ''caramella'', being one for the [[winter solstice]] events while the other to the [[spring equinox (Northern Hemisphere)|spring equinox]].
