Silent Night origin tale from Obendorf village
The article recounts how Franz Xavier Gruber composed Silent Night in 1818 after a mouse-gnawed organ left him to set Father Joseph Mohr's poem to music. In a candlelit St Nicholas church at midnight mass, the carol debuted to the village with Gruber at the guitar. Gruber, a poor linen weaver turned teacher and sexton, died obscurely in 1863. Austrians say the melody traveled to America and then the world.
