Pastor Eric Christmas Stories Day 19!

Tonight, Christmas Eve, is a chance to spend some time with the story behind O Holy Night. You'll hear how O Holy Night was originally written for a small Christmas mass in France in 1847, and has been sung millions of times in churches in every corner of the world. It was originally requested by a forgotten Friend parish priest, written by a poet who would later leave the church, given high and soaring music by a Jewish composer, sung to bring peace on the battlefield, brought to America to affirm the equality of all people, and spread across the radio waves through the early use of technology. It is truly one of the most beautiful, inspired pieces of music ever created!

Here's the video:

And here's a beautiful recording of O Holy Night that you can sing along with!  Enjoy!
