In the Shaker community, Carol, often referenced as a term for the music and dance practices within the sect, played a significant role in their spiritual expression and communal life. Shakers, known for their vibrant worship style, used music to enhance their religious experiences, promote unity, and convey their beliefs. Caroling, along with other forms of music, served both as a form of celebration and as a means to foster community bonds among members. Overall, carols were integral to the Shaker's unique cultural and spiritual identity.
