| | Silent Night, Holy Night + Christmas at Lighthouse Pointe |
 | | This special song was the creation of two men: Father Joseph Mohr, who was born in Salzburg in 1792, and who died in Wagrain, Austria in 1848; and Franz Xaver Gruber, who was born in Hochberg, Austria in 1787 and died in Hallein in 1863. |
 | | Joseph Mohr wrote the words to Silent Night in 1816 in Mariapfarr, Austria. |
 | | Mohr and choirmaster Franz Gruber, along with the church choir, stood before the main altar in St. Nicholas Church (Oberndorf, Austria) and introduced the song that would resound around the world for these past 180 years and counting. |
