Thanks to the year that was, no matter what

noreply@blogger.com (the24-7src) — Sat, 31 Dec 2005 23:04:00 +0000

This blog takes bow to the year that was.

2005 was both a good year and a bad one.

First the bad:

- There was Hurricane Katrina

- The series of suicide bombings in Iraq

- The earthquake in Pakistan

- and a lot more.

But there were the good events, too, such as:

- That black holes are good after all, as astronomers have discovered they can create life in the form of new stars

- The Discovery Shuttle was launched, erasing from our memory the disaster laden 2003 shuttle

- Polio eradication hopefully is being achieved at the end of 2005

- On the personal note, this website was born along with two other sites

- and many more good news.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

Christmas Story: The nine days of Christmas

noreply@blogger.com (the24-7src) — Fri, 16 Dec 2005 23:07:00 +0000

Christmas day is just around the corner. Here is a tidbit relating to Christmas. This is the story behind one of the most popularChristmas songs, Silent Night.

o The lyrics of the song was written by Josef Mohr, an assistant pastor by avocation, on December 23, 1818, in Austria. He wrote the song while walking down the hill overlooking Oberndorf, just one of the vllages in the Austrian Alps.

o Mohr's poem was given music by church organist, Franz Xaver Gruber. He did the music in one setting, spending a few hours on his guitar because the church's organ was out of commission.

o On Christmas eve of 1818, Josef Mohr and Franz Gruber sang the "Silent Night" for the first time accompanied by the later's guitar, at the Church of St. Nicholas in Oberndorf and attended by the village's congregation.

o Here's the lyric of Josef Mohr and Franz Gruber's composition:

Silent Night
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is brightRound yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peaceSleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is bornChrist, the Saviour is born

Here's the original poem by Josef Mohr:

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht,
Alles schläft; einsam wachtNur das traute hochheilige Paar.
Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar,Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht,
Hirten erst kundgemachtDurch der Engel Halleluja,
Tönt es laut von fern und nah:
Christ, der Retter ist da!Christ, der Retter ist da!

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht,
Gottes Sohn, o wie lachtLieb' aus deinem göttlichen Mund,
Da uns schlägt die rettende Stund'.
Christ, in deiner Geburt!Christ, in deiner Geburt!
