Silent Night, history of the world’s favorite Christmas carol

From its humble beginnings at an Austrian chapel in 1818, Stille Nacht has become one of the most popular Christmas hymns in history. The History Guy remembers the forgotten history of Stille Nacht or Silent Night.

The History Guy uses images that are in the Public Domain. As photographs of actual events are often not available, I will sometimes use photographs of similar events or objects for illustration.
