Christmas is a special time that means various things to different people. However, the word Christmas also has a rather obvious clue concerning the person that began it all. And this video clip drives that point home. Critically acclaimed singer Josh Groban has generated a massive fanbase throughout the years, and there’s no denying that he has an exemplary voice. And it’s no surprise that when he recorded a cover of the Christmas song, “O Holy Night,” it became known as one of his best songs. Recently, one talented YouTuber has managed to make a unique video making use of the track to really bring the story of the birth of Jesus Christ to life. And the results are just spectacular.
The Youtuber used video footage from the flick “The Nativity Story” and included Groban’s track right into a mix of the scenes. The video clip starts with the three wise men escorting their camels through the desert on their journey to discover Jesus. The piano chords start to play. The wise men search the skies to find the star that’s guiding them to Jesus. Groban starts vocal singing, “Oh holy night, the stars are brightly shining.” And as he sings that verse, the star beams down onto the ground, disclosing to the wise men where they should go. The next scene shows Mary in labor, as the brave woman struggles to give birth to the savior of the world.
