Two days before Christmas 1818, the bellows in the church organ were found to be rotted through (some stories suggest rats had eaten through them).

Are there any facts on silent night?
The origin of the Christmas carol we know as Silent Night was a poem that was written in 1816 by an Austrian priest called Joseph Mohr. On Christmas Eve in 1818 in the small alpine village called Oberndorf it is reputed that the organ at St. Nicholas Church had broken. Joseph Mohr gave the poem of Silent Night (Stille Nacht) to his friend Franz Xavier Gruber and the melody for Silent Night was composed with this in mind. The music to Silent Night was therefore intended for a guitar and the simple score was finished in time for Midnight Mass. Silent Night is the most famous Christmas carol of all time! I found the preceding paragraph concerning Silent Night on a web site while looking for the words to the music. As shown above, the music was written for a guitar, and played by Franz Grueber (as spelled in my Hymnal). Otherwise, Oberndorf truly would have had a silent night that Christmas eve in 1818.
