The tradition of Carols by Candlelight in Australia finds its roots intertwined with the arrival of the Cornish Methodist miners in the mid-1800s, particularly in places like Moonta, South Australia. These miners brought with them a rich heritage of faith, including the cherished tradition of singing carols during the Christmas season.
Faith was important to these miners, particularly as they had experienced a Christian Revival, which is recorded in the history books as the 1875 Moonta Revival.
