The story of the origin of Christmas Eve

The origin of Christmas Eve is as follows:

Legend has it that it was on the night of the birth of Jesus that the shepherds who were guarding their flocks in the wilderness suddenly heard voices coming from the sky telling them the news of Jesus' birth. According to the Bible, Jesus came to earth to be the King of the world and to be the one in whom everyone believed, so the angels spread the news to more people through these shepherds. So more people knew that Jesus was going to be born.

Later, people imitated the angel and went around proclaiming the day of Jesus' birth, and on Christmas Eve, people went around preaching the news of Jesus' birth. This has evolved into the event of announcing the birth of Jesus on Christmas Eve. And this activity is also gradually passed down, so it slowly became the mouth of the people of Christmas Eve is Christmas Eve, so traditionally known as December 24th night for "Christmas Eve" or "Christmas Eve".

Christmas Eve story

December 11, 1792, Joseph Mohr was born in Salzburg, Austria, as the illegitimate son of Anna Schoenberg, a weaver, and an infantryman from the local garrison, and his father fled out of fear. For the baptism, a Salzburg executioner named Josef Wolgemuth had to be hired as godfather.

Moore was kind-hearted and good for the weak, the poor and the children, but his unfortunate birth caused the young Moore to be continually driven away until 1815, when Moore took up a position as pastor of the small town of Oberndorf, near Salzburg, where he met Franz Kersaver Gruebel, an elementary school teacher and fair organizer from the neighboring town of Arnsdorf, at the fair there, and the two became good friends.

The Christmas song "Christmas Eve," a collaboration between Moll (lyrics) and Gruebel (music), was first sung in the town church of Oberndorf on Dec. 24, 1818, with a temporary guitar accompaniment due to the organ being chewed by rats.

By the way, "Christmas Eve" has been translated into almost all the languages of the world, the original lyrics were written in German, the first line is StilleNacht (Silent Night or Quiet Night), quiet or silent is still different from "peace", but the earliest as " Peaceful night" was the first word translated into Chinese.
