Silent Night Origins In Austrian Christmas Reflection
In Austria a grand church organ failed before Christmas Eve, prompting the organist and assistant priest to compose a new hymn. A single guitar accompanied the reverent rendition of Silent Night, a timeless carol born from Franz Gruber and Joseph Mohr, whose simple gospel message of peace on earth is urged amid modern holiday haste. The reflection centers on St. Nicholas church in Oberndorf and Frederick's Christmas 1990 context.
