Characters of Christmas

Come, listen to a story — a masterpiece, unfolding before our eyes. An Angel. A scared young Jewish girl. A bewildered fiancé. Wise men. Kings from the east. The wicked Herod. An innkeeper. Shepherds in the field. Prophets, paupers, philosophers and wanderers. A story that transcends presents or brightly lit trees. When we crack open the pages of the Christmas story we find it full of familiar characters like Mary, who’s rooted not only in the Christmas story but church history and Joseph, who fades into the background as the story progresses. We even find obscure figures like an innkeeper who, despite his seemingly small role, the writers included in a story that would change history. Who are the characters of Christmas? This is a story you don’t want to miss!
