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 in Austria. The priest Joseph Mohr had written the poem "Stille Nacht" in 1816, and on Christmas Eve in 1818, he asked Gruber to create a melody and guitar accompaniment for it, possibly due to a damaged church organ. This timeless carol was declared an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2011 and remains one of the most recorded Christmas songs, with over 137,000 known recordings.
