The main result of this article states that the Galois representation attached to a Hilbert modular eigenform defined over $\overline{\mathbb{F}}_{p}$ of parallel weight 1 and level prime to
$p$ is unramified above
$p$. This includes the important case of eigenforms that do not lift to Hilbert modular forms in characteristic 0 of parallel weight 1. The proof is based on the observation that parallel weight 1 forms in characteristic
$p$ embed into the ordinary part of parallel weight
$p$ forms in two different ways per prime dividing
$p$, namely via ‘partial’ Frobenius operators.
