London based electro-pop band Ooberfuse has released a brand new cover of “O Holy Night”.
The group, made up of trio Cherrie, Hal and Nico recorded the song to capture the spirit of Christmas.
Speaking to Christian Today, lead singer Cherrie Anderson empathised with the world’s persecuted Christians, saying that in the Western world “we take our religious freedom so much for granted”.

Pope Benedict XVI left the public with a heartfelt message during his annual Christmas address this morning.
The pope delivered the speech earlier today in St Peter’s Square in Rome. He questioned whether people still have time for God in this technology driven generation, and appealed for the Church to be given “esteem” in the coming new year.
He asked that peace should be restored in Syria, which is “reaping innocent victims” in this tumultuous time.
The pontiff spoke of the tribulations in China, and urged that their government should respect religion. This comes after reports of the Chinese government’s harsh treatment of Catholics in the country.

“The great moral question of our attitude towards the homeless, towards refugees and migrants, takes on a deeper dimension: do we really have room for God when he seeks to enter under our roof?”- Pope Benedict XVI

The Roman Catholic head of England and Wales took freedom of speech very seriously this Christmas morning in an interview with the BBC.
The Archbishop complained that the plans were “undemocratic,” as they have come as a surprise, and no mention was made of the propositions in party manifesto’s, or even a green paper.
Although the coalition government have reassured that no religious institution would be forced to conduct any ceremonies, the Catholic Leader still branded the process as “shambolic”.
The importance of traditional marriage was also reiterated during the clergyman’s Christmas Eve sermon last night.
