Perhaps you look forward to Christmas and its presents, but do you know the Christmas story?
Christmas
Christmas is a religious feast day. On 25 December, Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the son of God, who came to earth to save mankind. The story is told in the New Testament, the second part of the Bible.
Like a show
The story has inspired many artists.
Like film-directors, they have arranged the characters, chosen the sets, and played about with lighting and colors.
Very carefully, they have selected the gestures and facial expressions, the costumes and props, that will create the right mood and express the characters' feelings.
