On a quiet night in Bethlehem, the Son of God is born as a tiny baby. Angels bring the good news to shepherds, and the Savior of the world sleeps in a manger.

On a quiet night in Bethlehem, the ox, the donkey and the sheep grow still around the manger so the baby can sleep.

One Christmas night, in a village high on an Italian hillside, Saint Francis wanted to see Bethlehem with his own two eyes.

After the Holy Family slipped away, Bethlehem was left alone before the fear of a king. The Church has never forgotten the children of that village.

A star lights up the sky and goes on ahead of the wise men, night after night, until it stops above the place where the child is.

Wise men from the East follow a mysterious star all the way to Bethlehem, bringing precious gifts for the child Jesus: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Along the way, God guides and protects them.
