Silent Night was written in 18 16 by Joseph Moore, a priest of a small village church in a small place in Austria. Composer Franz gruber is an unknown local music teacher. It is said that the organ in the chapel was broken, so Father Moore asked Mr. gruber to write this song for him, and the music accompanied by guitar was urgent.

The soundtrack was later taken out by the organ repairman and let the outside world know the song. This song spread quickly and was loved by people. Today, she has almost become the official "holiday song" of Christmas. She has been translated into many languages. There are 67 different languages 105 different versions of lyrics on the above webpage.
