Pastor Eric Christmas Stories Day 18!

Silent Night, Holy Night is our song for today, and it's one of the most beautiful songs we sing, and has an interesting history! Written in 1818 when the Nikloaus Church's organ went out, it was played by guitar and sung that Christmas Eve by the parish priest and the minister of music. Then, when the organ repair man came, he stole a copy of the song and started distributing it more widely without crediting the original composers of the song, so it was attributed to people like Mozart or Haydan, until finally in 1854 the parish priest finally wrote to tell the whole story, and claimed it as his own.

And here's a beautiful video of our song, so sing along!
