Christmas is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed primarily on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration by billions of people around the world.
This book takes readers on a journey to the first Christmas through the eyes of those who were there, focusing especially on their response of praise to God’s gift of a Savior:
-Mary, sure of God’s goodness but unsure about all the implications of this baby
-Zacharias, humbled by his doubts but rejoicing in God’s work
-The angels, marveling that their Creator would come to earth in such a vulnerable way
-The shepherds, despised in society yet being first to receive the good news for all people
-The elderly Simeon and Anna, rejoicing to see the young Messiah after waiting so long.
