Synopsis: |
One Sunday just before Christmas, Brother Gabriel showed up in class with an old sheet of brown flannel and some cutout figures."When I was a boy" the old man explained, "we had all our lessons on these flannelboards." As he talked, he began to place figures on the flannelboard -- crude shapes, but unmistakable figures from the Christmas story. "Now this particular flannelboard is special, " he said... "Look closely at Mary. Real close..." We stared. And held our breath. The figure of Mary was moving!And so the adventure begins! Ten breathtaking installments, ten journeys into the Christmas story -- each followed by provocative discussion- starters and a brief prayer. |
