Our perennial show - and one of our most popular - that traces the Christmas story of the birth of Jesus Christ from the Angel Gabriel's proclamation to Mary, through Christianity's season of Advent, then to the Nativity in a Bethlehem manger and at end to Epiphany and the march of the Magi, following the star in the East to pay homage to the Newborn King. It's a story that begins in darkness and ends in reaffirming light for humankind.
