4-Year-Old Spreads Christmas Joy with ‘Joy to the World’ Street Performance

A 4-year-old boy’s street performance of a beloved Christmas carol turned into a touching family collaboration that captivated passersby.

In the video, young Nicholas Protsenko sits in front of his piano on the street and gracefully performs the popular Christmas carol ‘Joy to the World.’

The classic Christmas hymn was written by Isaac Watts in 1719. It celebrates the coming of Christ and the joy He brings to the world.

Halfway through his performance, Nicholas’s 7-year-old brother Leo joins in on the violin. The music becomes even more beautiful. Then Karolina Protsenko picks up her violin too.

What starts as one little boy’s song becomes a wonderful family performance right there on the street.

People walking by stop in their tracks. Many pull out their phones to record the performance. There’s something special about hearing children sing Christmas songs. Their voices remind us why we celebrate this season.

Verse of the Day

“[The Last Enemy Destroyed] But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.”
