"Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht" is the German version of the well-known Christmas carol "Silent Night, Holy Night." It was written by Josef Mohr in 1816 and set to music by Franz Xaver Gruber in 1818. The lyrics describe the peaceful and holy night when Jesus was born. The first verse talks about everyone sleeping while the Holy Couple, referring to Mary and Joseph, watch over the infant Jesus with his curly hair. It encourages him to sleep in heavenly peace. The second verse mentions how the shepherds were the first to learn about the birth of Jesus through the angel's proclamation. The angels' chorus of "Hallelujah" resonates loudly from near and far, announcing that Jesus, the savior, has come. Overall, the song symbolizes the serenity and joy of Christmas, commemorating the birth of Jesus and spreading the message of peace and hope to the world. David Hasselhoff, a popular American singer and actor, recorded his rendition of this classic Christmas carol.
