Listen "O Holy Night: To Our Weakness No Stranger"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textIn today's special Christmas episode, I talk about the story behind another famous Christmas carol from the past. Picture yourself on Christmas Eve standing in a nineteenth-century Catholic church in France. The spacious and dim Gothic church filled with a resounding sound of the organ playing, and a trained opera singer boisterously singing O Holy Night. This is the backdrop in which we find the origins of the famous Christmas Carol O Holy Night.
