Silent Night: The Wonderful Story of the Beloved Christmas Carol | 
The Christmas Carol ‘Silent Night‘ was originally a poem written by Father Joseph Mohr called “Stille Nacht”. Story has it he asked Franz Xaver Gruber to write a melody to accompany the poem on guitar when the organ at St Nicholas parish church was not functioning in the Christmas Eve of 1818. Gruber had the music done and the carol was played for the first time that night at the Christmas Eve service.
