Mary's Night - Tapa blanda

The age-old Christmas Story is a narrative many of us know by heart. Imagine, then, hearing the sacred tale from fresh voices to re-awaken the awe that originally inspired storytellers. "Mary’s Night" illumines the Nativity as a poetic Christmas treasure of fourteen perspectives of one very special night, told by an unlikely cast of narrators. See the trip to Bethlehem through the eyes of a Donkey, feel the experience of a Manger that held the newborn Christ, and sense the innocent connection between an awkward young Lamb and the infant Lamb of God. Accompanied by some of the most beautiful works of art from the 15th, 16th, and 19th centuries, the unique poems of "Mary’s Night" will inspire you to share this Story with your loved ones for generations to come.
