The First Christmas

Relates the story of Jesus Christ's birth and infancy and touches on the rest of his life, explaining how his life and death are the real reason for celebrating Christmas.

Author and artist Carol Heyer has created an exquisitely beautiful rendering of the story of the first Christmas. Here is the young Mary, the richly attired Magi, the protective Joseph, and the roughly clad shepherds gathered round the manger that held the Son of God. This is the traditional story, based on the Bible account. Heyer's art, rendered on canvas, imparts to the book the texture of an elegant and classic work of art.
