The First Christmas
By Fr. Denis O'Shea
Every Christmas Day throughout the world, we rise reverently to hear with wondering awe the beautiful Gospel of the Nativity. This is the rest of the story. Here a research expert in the field of sacred history recreates the story of the Nativity, highlighting it with interesting facts about life in Palestine at the time of Our Lord’s birth. Father O’Shea’s tender depiction of Mary, the loving and gentle young mother-to-be, and of Joseph, stalwart, protective, and solicitous, sets the scene for the joyful birth of the Holy Child. The author’s vast knowledge of Palestine and his travels through the country enable him to give an “on-the-spot” account of the scenery, the climate, and the sacred historic places that are remnants of ancient times. New completeness make this story of the first Holy Night eloquently appealing and interesting, etching the happenings of The First Christmas permanently in memory and heart alike. 170pp, sewn hardcover, Impr
