ORIGIN

It's about the birth of Jesus Christ. Legend has it that on the night of Jesus' birth, shepherds guarding their flocks in the wilderness suddenly heard a voice from heaven telling them that Jesus was born. According to the Bible, Jesus came to earth to be king on earth, so the angels spread the message to more people through these shepherds. Later, people will imitate angels, in the evening of Christmas Eve everywhere to tell the news of the birth of Jesus, then for the later generations of the "good news." In Christian societies, on Christmas Eve, every family traditionally puts up a Christmas tree. That night, the whole family gathered in the living room, singing Christmas songs around the Christmas tree, exchanging gifts, sharing the joys and sorrows of life with each other, expressing the blessings and love of the heart, and praying for happiness in the coming year. Many Christians traditionally attend midnight Mass or gatherings on Christmas Eve, usually held in churches around the world, to mark the beginning of Christmas Day. Some churches hold candlelit worship early in the evening, usually with a play on the nativity story and a big meal. The traditional German dish is roast carp. In addition, Christmas Eve is also considered to be the time for Santa Claus and similar figures in other regions to go around delivering gifts to good children.

STORY

Joseph Moore was born in Salzburg, Austria, on December 11, 1792, the illegitimate son of Anna Schauber, a knitter, and an infantryman of the local garrison. His father fled in fear. At the baptism, a Salzburg executioner named Josef Wolgmuth had to be godfather.

More had a kind heart, and was willing to work for the weak, the poor, and children, but his unhappy life kept the young More driven away. It was not until 1815 that More became a priest in the small town of Oberndorf, near Salzburg, where he met Franz Keshaver Grubel, an elementary school teacher and fair organizer from the neighboring town of Arnsdorf. The two became good friends.

"Silent Night," a Christmas song by Mohr (lyrics) and Gruebel (composition), was first performed in the town church of Oberndorf on December 24, 1818, with guitar accompaniment because the organ had been bitten by rats. By the way, "Silent Night" has been translated into almost all the languages in the world, the original lyrics are written in German, the first line is StilleNacht (silent night or quiet night), quiet or silence is different from "peace", but it was first translated into Chinese as "Silent night".

On December 24, 1914, soldiers from various countries participating in World War I spontaneously stopped fighting and heard Silent Night sung by Austrian opera actress Orise Schumann on the radio. Her two sons were listening to her on the front lines, one in the German trenches, the other in the front lines of the Allied army, and they wished that the war would be over and that they would be home with her. "Christmas Eve" witnessed the wishes of the people of the world for peace, Thanksgiving parents on Christmas Eve.
