How Many Hidden “Easter Eggs” Can You Find in “Silent Night”?
Actor Kevin Sorbo stars in the new Christmas video for “Silent Night,” which is generating extremely positive feedback online. The symbolic music video features a diverse community rallying together to help a young couple with the unexpected birth of a child, as a father is moved to reconcile with his daughter.
Mack Wilberg’s arrangement of “Silent Night” serves as the centerpiece of the video. (Read the heartwarming story of Wilberg’s arrangement.) In the video, Sorbo plays the role of Officer Shepherd, a policeman, who finds himself in the midst of a medical emergency on Christmas Eve, when a young couple’s baby decides it’s the perfect time to enter the world. As it turns out, the timing is perfect for Officer Shepherd’s change of heart as well.
Can You Find the Symbolic Easter Eggs?
The term “Easter egg” refers to an intentional hidden message, image, or inside joke that is usually placed in movies, video games, or computer programs. Throughout the video, there are numerous (no less than eight) hidden “Easter eggs”—many of which have symbolic reference to the scriptures.
