Our annual show traces the Christmas story of the birth of Jesus Christ from the Angel Gabriel’s proclamation to Mary through Christianity’s season of Advent to the Nativity in a Bethlehem manger to Epiphany and the march of the Magi, following the star in the East, to Bethlehem to pay homage to the Newborn King.
