In the heart of the night, the child was born. A boy. Mary kissed him, washed him, wrapped him tightly in bands of cloth, and laid him in the wooden feeding box where the animals usually munched hay. She gave him a name as well: Jesus, the name told her by the angel.

Written in lyrical prose and brought to life in light-catching stained-glass illustrations, this unique nativity story is one that parents and children will be able to share every Christmas season.
