Christmas is a time of cheer - so pull up a chair and enjoy some funny Christmas songs to light up your holiday season! The Hallelujah Chorus, part of Handel's Messiah, is one of the most revered Christmas songs of all times. All across the world, whenever this song is sung, people rise to their feet in respect and are enraptured by the praise ringing forth to God through a multitude of voices. Isn't this how the angels must have sounded on that night in Bethlehem?
Well, prepare yourself for a slightly different "visual version" of the Hallelujah Chorus - this one "sung" by the Silent Monks. Monks, of course, are those individuals who cloister themselves away in a silent monastery - living lives of denial and solitude in order to get to know God better through a life of simplicity.
Now, imagine how they "make a joyful noise to the Lord" under these conditions!
Since we know God has a sense of humor (he made you, didn't he?), He would be thrilled for you to enjoy the following rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus:
