"The Little Drummer Boy", also known as "Carol of the Drum", is a popular Christmas song written by Katherine K. Davis. It was popularized by the version of the Harry Simeone Chorale and has been adapted many times since. The song has its roots in a French legend turned short story and play called "The Juggler of Notre Dame", wherein a juggler who has lost his faith performs his act in front of a statue of Mary, since he has no gift to leave in front of it. The story varies in certain details, but all have a miracle occur when Mary somehow acknowledges this gift.
