Storyline of The Nativity Story
In Nazareth, a town oppressed by the devastating taxation practices of King Herod, a teenage girl, Mary, is told by her parents that they have arranged for her to marry Joseph. Distraught by the idea of marrying a man she hardly knows, Mary takes refuge in a grove to collect her thoughts. There, she is visited by an angel, who tells her that she has been chosen by God to bear his son. Despite the public scorn from an unwed pregnancy, together, Mary and Joseph travel to Bethlehem for a census mandated by the King. It is here, with a great celestial event revealing his prophecy, in a history-defining event, that Jesus is born.
Good post. Thanks for information., I liked this post.
This is a beautiful version of a true story that took place over 2000 years ago. It was not only realistic but also very moving. Thank you for handling the whole story in a sensitive and respectful way. I enjoy it immensely and after purchasing the film last year it’s something that I will watch every Christmas.
God Bless you.
