In the year 752 AUC in the Roman Empire, the Jewish people were being sold into slavery to pay taxes. They had long suffered from Roman oppression and hoped for their Deliverer, their Messiah, to come set them free, to set up His kingdom on Earth.

God finds ordinary people to do His work. Mary of Nazareth was a young woman – a real human being. Chosen by God, Mary and Joseph became the parents of Jesus, the Savior the Jews had longed for. They had no special training; they were not wealthy; but they were willing and obedient to the call of God on their lives.

But being foster parents to God’s only son would have its challenges. This is the story of a mother’s love, a son destined for greatness, and the event that changed history.
