One popular Christmas carol is “Silent Night”, written in the 19th century in Austria. It was written by a young priest after the Napoleonic Wars. It is even older than “Away in a Manger”. UNESCO declared it an “intangible cultural heritage”. The original verse were in German, but they have been translated into more than 300 languages. Many recordings have been made. There is a story. The church had been flooded and the organ damaged. The choir master had to play guitar. Here's the first verse in Cornish.
And here's the carol in Gaelic.
