ADVENT REAWAKENED
NIGHT OF SILENCE
welcome
NightofSilence.com is an online resource dedicated to the season of Advent and its relevance to contemporary life. Advent challenges us to quiet our minds, empty ourselves and make room for the new. It stands in direct contrast to the noise and frenzy of the holiday season. May this be a place where you experience renewal of Advent.
There are many editions of Daniel Kantor’s popular song, Night of Silence. We make it easier than ever to find just the right edition, with direct links to the GIA website for fast, easy buying.
As you journey through the sacred season of Advent, allow these diverse reflections to guide you in finding depth and meaning amid the busyness of the holiday season.
