During WWII, Captain Jan Sliwinski arranged a number of the old Polish Carols to be published in aid of the Polish Red Cross. Until these publications, it is perhaps a surprising fact that little was known about Polish Carols outside of Poland. The Oxford Book of Carols, which had representations of carols from many countries, did not seem to know these old songs at all. Thus Captain Sliwinski and Major Teslar, who met during the Great War of 1914-18, and were, in their own words, "old comrade-carollers", set down as many as they could remember for posterity, before they died out completely. Some were from the peasant villages, others were grand carols of the gentry (there was a distinction at that time!) and translations done by Mrs Coventry and Mr Gordon.

Today carols are regularly sung at Christian religious services. Some compositions have words which are clearly not of a religious theme, but are often still referred to as "carols." For example, the sixteenth century song ""A Bone, God Wot!" appears to be a wassailing song (which is sung during drinking or while requesting ale), is described in Cottonian collection in the British Museum as "A Christenmesse Carroll."
