Origin"O Little Town of Bethlehem" was written by Episcopal priest Phillips Brooks in 1868, inspired by his visit to Bethlehem during Christmas of 1865.

Brooks wrote the poem for his Sunday school children, creating a gentle narrative of Christ's birth that has become one of the most beloved Christmas carols worldwide.
