Rev. Norman Young remembers his mother, Stella May Porter Young, reciting this readings ever since he was a small child at Christmas time. He assumed that she learned them when she was young. It would probably be in the 1930's that he remembers his mother reciting it and who knows how much earlier she learned it. She always recited it for the Rev Young when she visited. He always asked her to recite it for him even though it wasn't Christmas time when she visited. That is the reason that she made a record of it for him. It is something that he remembers from his childhood. We have assumed it is a very old reading.
