“Silent Night” is woven through all my memories of Christmas. Singing the song on Christmas Eve and lighting candles is my fondest childhood memory of St. Paul’s. Then when I moved away from home I would see many of my childhood friends while walking down the aisle with our lit candles. I’ve been able to share this experience with Melanie and then Jessie and Alex. I learned the song in German in my German language class. In the 1970’s at the end of the Fairview High School Christmas Concerts all members of every choir would process out into the audience filling every aisle and sing “Silent Night”—hundreds of voices in beautiful harmony. It was very moving. The song always moves me. I hope it blesses you as well.
