Overview
In the quiet of an Austrian winter, a young priest received heavenly inspiration to commemorate the most significant event in history by writing the world's most beloved Christmas carol, "Silent Night." In this beautiful, touching drama, young Father Joseph Mohr's life is affected by his fatherless upbringing, inspiring him to bring joy and love to the people of his parish. One winter evening in 1818, God used father Mohr to describe the miracle birth of the Christ Child in the world's most memorable Christmas carol. Sung around the world in 120 languages, few know the real story of how "Silent Night" came to be.
