Wait a minute!! You have this listed as "Fiction," but I do not believe it is! I am a music teacher, and I remember that story from when I was in college! You've done a fine job recounting it. Now all it needs is for you to change "fiction" to "non fiction," and it will be perfect!! xoxox

It wouldn't be the holiday season without this song. I learned it in elementary school, sang it while in the church youth choir, and later, as a church musician, played it every year as the adult choir sang. Thank you for sharing this informative history.

Yes, I've heard of this story of the beginnings of the greatest Christmas carol of all time. It shows that often through some kind of adversity, here the damaged organ, great things can come. Who would have ever guessed that this wonderful song would come to be played on an acoustic guitar on the cuff? estory

I had heard this story many years ago but had forgotten most of the details so it was nice to refresh my memory. It is the one song most people associate with Christmas. thanks for sharing.

This is a good piece of history I bet hardly anybody knows this: "On the Christmas Eve of 1818, in the Church of St Nicholas in Oberndof, a small village in Austria, Curate Josef Mohr was feeling gloomy."
"Silent Night echoed for the first time on that Christmas Eve of 1818." a nice summary.
