Anyone who reads this blog (and I'm grateful to them all) knows that I'm a sucker for traditions, and that the Christmas tradition on Irish Papist is to post St. Robert Southwell's great Christmas poem "The Burning Babe".
But tradition and innovation don't have to be mortal enemies!
This year, rather than simply posting the text, I am inviting my good friend Sting to give his rendition. Afterwards we are having mince pies and a sing-along. Dirk Benedict might show up as well. You can never tell with Dirk.
You can listen to it here.
