the latin text is probably a musical parody of an earlier 12th century song beginning "intonent hodie voces ecclesie", written in honour of saint nicholas, the patron saint of russia, sailors and children – to whom he traditionally brings gifts on his feast day, 6 december. hugh keyte and andrew parrott note that two of the verses have an unusual double repeat ('submersum, -sum, -sum puerum'; 'reddens vir-, vir-, vir-ginibus'). in 'intonent hodie', these were used to illustrate the three boys and three girls saved by st nicholas from drowning and prostitution, respectively. the text was probably re-written for the feast of the holy innocents (28 december) when choristers and their "boy bishop" traditionally displaced the senior clergy from the choir stalls. the carol is still often associated with holy innocents' day.
