O Holy Night! What a holy night it was! The song "O Holy Night" was composed by Adolphe Adam in 1847 based off of the poem "Minuit, Chretens" by French poet Placide Cappeau and later brought to America through abolitionist John Sullivan Dwight who changed some of the lyrics slightly. The song reflects on the night of Jesus' birth as reported in the second chapter of Luke. We are reminded that through Jesus' humble beginnings we are to love mankind through His example. We fall on our knees in awe and worship Him. May we remember the greatest gift to ever be given to us was the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

The staff of West Virginia Ministries wishes you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
