The story behind the song

"Silent Night" is a beloved Christmas carol, originally composed in 1818 by Franz Xaver Gruber with lyrics by Joseph Mohr. The poem was written in 1816 by Father Joseph Mohr, inspired by the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars. Two years later, Mohr asked Gruber to compose a melody and guitar accompaniment for Christmas Eve mass, possibly because the church organ was damaged by flooding. This version by Third Day, a Christian rock band known for their faith-inspired music, appeared on their 2006 album Christmas Offerings. Playing it can feel like stepping into a moment of profound peace and reflection on the Christmas story.
