But it is Christmas and what says "Christmas" more than the classic Silent Night. It is the tradition in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, an ancient German town, to gather in the town square for carols on Christmas Eve, and the final song of the night is this. It isn't unusual to hear this song sung in many languages, but the message is universal... Merry Christmas, the Christ is born!
