The Nativity background

The Nativity

The next show delves into the turbulent era of turn-of-the-millennium Judea, breathing life into legendary tales while grounding the story in relatable, everyday settings.

Around the turn of the millennium, a four-part series weaves together three interconnected stories inspired by the Biblical account of Jesus' birth. In Nazareth, Joseph, a carpenter, pursues Mary, a teenager. In Bethlehem, Thomas, a shepherd, faces crushing taxation. Meanwhile, the Magi gather in the East, analyzing celestial signs that foretell a monumental event. Their lives converge when Mary receives an angelic visitation, announcing she will give birth to the son of God.
