          We watched part of the movie \u201cMary of Nazareth.\u201d\u00a0 I think it gave a visual idea of what it really was like for Joseph and Mary. I narrated the movie as it progressed so that the students could put the events from the bible into context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          We stopped just as Joseph was searching for a place to stay in Bethlehem\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE BIRTH OF CHRIST!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
