This is a guide to the life and times behind the Christmas story, an invitation to a new experience for celebrating the birth of Christ. What was the first Christmas really like? How did Mary and Joseph travel to Bethlehem? What do we know about the birth of Jesus? Where did Joseph and Mary and Jesus live in Egypt? And what was life like for the boy Jesus in his hometown Nazareth? The unique illustrations are reproduced from 19th century engravings and drawings by pilgrims to the Holy Land.
