a holiday edition of things I don't know

Why do people stand when the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah is sung?



I should probably know why people stand, but I just have no idea why this happens.

Is this Heaven's national anthem? Would they play this song if Jesus won a gold medal in the Olympics? He'd probably enter into the speed skating competition, since he was so good at walking on water and all.  I could also see him doing well in synchronized swimming for that matter.

This has been another thing I don't know.
