These are the stories of some of the many unknown people who were there during those momentous years when Jesus was born grew up, taught, healed, suffered, died and rose again. They were people who knew his family, who were in the crowds and who listened, watched, went home and told others. Some continued to doubt, or could not accept or even try to understand the message of this man Jesus. But many became believers and went on to tell their stories. Let their stories speak to us, for in them, we may find our own.
