    There's only one reason for the power and glory of this story:
    He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
    He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
    But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
    Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
    And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
    Only almighty God can take a tiny seed and bring forth a full harvest of fruit to bring life to the whole world!

      It's powerful indeed. Created by an atheist and set to music by an unbeliever for a pagan holiday. A curious thing.

    Great story but reason for being banned was political and certainly not the Church that banned it. Notice O Holy Night was performed on Christmas midnight Mass 1947; the overthrow of King Louis Philippe in February 1848. France was under constant turmoil. A catholic priest asked for this to be written. Adolphe Adam called his tune "la Marseillaise religieuse" which translated means (Religious national anthem) reflecting the republican and anti-clerical (secular), and even somewhat socialist views of Cappeau, which reflect the spirit of the original poem.

    Just to clarify, you say "Christmas Eve, 1871". It should be "Christmas Eve, 1870" as the Franco-Prussian War was over by "Christmas Eve, 1871." Overall, though, nice animations!

    I'm a little surprised (and deeply saddened) that this otherwise very nice video did not acknowledge the source of the words. They come from Ace Collins' book, "Stories Behind the Best-Loved Songs of Christmas," Zondervan, 2001. The speaker dropped some of the words from the book but otherwise quoted it virtually verbatim.

    But what about the part of American Christians shortening the song because the antislavery part made them feel uncomfortable with their own racism?
    All of that explains why MOST Americans haven't heard the entirety of "Oh Holy Night" and why they don't know it was meant to be abolitionist propaganda

      @@davidwebb8217 no... a lot of Americans acknowledge that because they think sing all of that is a way to get around the fact that black Americans experience 246 years of enslavement in this country's history and that it was definitely white people in the South who fought very hard to keep the institution alive.

      @@13579hee no... they fought because they were invaded by an unconstitutional north that also had slaves and who ran the slave trade and sailed the slave ships. The war wasn't fought over slavery and Lincoln said so. You have to make it about slavery because you need a moral high ground for causing the deaths of 850k Americans including women and children black and white. Union troops were responsible for the deaths of 20k blacks in Natchez,MS alone so screw your slavery bs.
