Silent Night in Wagrain-Kleinarl.<br />
en
Wagrain-Kleinarl – where Christmastime still radiates<br />
its own unique charm. “Silent Night!” – a song that<br />
unites Wagrain with the whole world. The messages<br />
of peace penned by lyricist Joseph Mohr are very<br />
much at the heart of “Silent Night Wagrain-Kleinarl”,<br />
a cultural project that embraces traditions as well as<br />
the world at large. Together with guest countries, the<br />
Wagrain-Kleinarl region celebrates Christmastime<br />
with typical folk customs and cultural events.
Silent night! Holy night!<br />
All are sleeping, alone and awake<br />
Only the intimate holy pair,<br />
Lovely boy with curly hair,<br />
|: Sleep in heavenly peace! :|<br />
Silent night! Holy night!<br />
Son of God, O how he laughs<br />
Love from your divine mouth,<br />
Then it hits us - the hour of salvation.<br />
|: Jesus at your birth! :|<br />
Silent night! Holy night!<br />
Which brought salvation to the world,<br />
From Heaven‘s golden heights,<br />
Mercy‘s abundance was made visible to us:<br />
|: Jesus in human form! :|<br />
Silent night! Holy night!<br />
Where on this day all power<br />
of fatherly love poured forth<br />
And like a brother lovingly embraced<br />
|: Jesus the peoples of the world! :|<br />
Silent night! Holy night!<br />
Already long ago planned for us,<br />
When the Lord frees from wrath<br />
Since the beginning of ancient times<br />
|: A salvation promised for the whole world! :|<br />
Silent night! Holy night!<br />
To shepherds it was first made known<br />
By the angel, Alleluia;<br />
Sounding forth loudly far and near:<br />
|: Jesus the Savior is here! :|<br />
Text: Joseph Mohr, 1816<br />
Melody: Franz Xaver Gruber, 1818

Christmastime in Wagrain-Kleinarl<br />
Tradition and folk heritage are important components of all events<br />
in Wagrain-Kleinarl. Guests here have the unique opportunity to<br />
get to know and participate in old traditions.<br />
Advent of Cultures<br />
Christmastime in Wagrain-Kleinarl is both reflective and festive.<br />
Wagrain, home of Joseph Mohr, the man who wrote the words to<br />
“Silent Night!”, unites a commitment to the nurturing of regional<br />
customs with an embrace of cultural exchange: “Silent Night”<br />
events are enhanced by artistic and culinary contributions from<br />
guest countries. This year, we look forward to greeting our special<br />
guests from France from the 02. - 04. December.<br />
St. Nicholas<br />
A truly special Nicholas tradition, a romantic Advent market and<br />
the opportunity to celebrate the high holy days together: Kleinarl<br />
celebrates Christmastime with typical religious and secular<br />
customs that are seemingly an indispensable part of life in this<br />
community – which in turn grants guests deep insights into the<br />
very soul of this holiday region.<br />
„Silent Night“ Exhibition<br />
School children from Joseph Mohr Elementary and Karl Heinrich<br />
Waggerl Middle Schools in Wagrain create wonderful drawings<br />
and creative pieces based on the “Silent Night” theme. Their<br />
works can be admired at Raiffeisenbank Wagrain and in the<br />
windows of the newly built gymnasium in the Kirchboden section<br />
of Wagrain.<br />

Wagrain’s market linden tree becomes the spot where Christmas<br />
wishes, big and small, are carefully placed in expectation of the<br />
impending arrival of the Christ Child.<br />
„Silent Night“ Bakery<br />
While the grown-ups saunter through the Wagrain Advent market,<br />
the youngsters are proud to work hard and lend the Christ Child a<br />
hand: In the children’s cookie bakery, dough is turned by little<br />
hands into true works of art. After they are baked, the fragrant<br />
cookies are eagerly gobbled up right away by the children, or<br />
packed up to be enjoyed with everyone at home. Dates: 26.11.,<br />
