Description
This series is a collection of ten new episodes designed to be watched on the three Sundays prior to Christmas week, plus the seven days of Christmas week, ending on Christmas day.
The Third Sunday Before Christmas Week: Episode One is narrated by the prophet, Isaiah. He explains how the prophets of the Old Testament foretold the coming of mankind’s Savior, Jesus, long before he was born.
The Second Sunday Before Christmas Week: Episode Two is narrated by a Magi, a wise man from the East. He explains why the wise men of Babylon have been looking for a new king of the Jews for the previous several hundred years.
The Seventh Day before Christmas: Episode Three is narrated by Elizabeth, a close relative of Mary. Elizabeth miraculously conceived of John the Baptist, so she was completely prepared for Mary to have a miraculous birth, too.
The Sixth Day Before Christmas: Episode Four is narrated by Mary’s mother. She tells of the care she and her husband took to keep Mary from having any real or perceived questionable reputation. She is thrilled that Mary is betrothed to a Godly man named Joseph.
The Fifth Day Before Christmas: Episode Five is narrated by Mary. She tells of her surprise when Gabriel comes to visit and tells her of her upcoming unique pregnancy.
The Fourth Day Before Christmas: Episode Six is narrated by Joseph. He tells of the unwelcome news he receives about Mary being pregnant. He says that an angel of the Lord explained she was pregnant by the Holy Spirit and he should take her to be his wife.
The Third Day Before Christmas: Episode Seven is narrated by a tax collector living in Bethlehem. He tells of the census being taken by the Romans and why it is a hardship on anybody having to traveling to Bethlehem to register.
The Second Day Before Christmas: Episode Eight is narrated by King Herod. He explains why he was so upset when the Magi came looking for a new king of the Jews, and why he killed so many babies because of their visit.
The Day Before Christmas (Christmas Eve): Episode Nine is narrated by a shepherd who was given the good news about the birth of a savior by an angel. He explains why the shepherds were chosen instead of an important politician.
Christmas Day: Episode Ten is told by an angel sent to tell the shepherds about the birth of mankind’s shepherd. The angel explains that the birth of Jesus is the culmination of many other events through the centuries.
