We want to share a scene from the award winning show "Almelem", where Mary, the mother of Jesus, tells the harrowing story of the birth of her first child. Kristen Vaughan, who plays Mary, and Sean Williams, the writer of Almelem, have a quick conversation to introduce the scene.

Almelem, by Sean Willams, can be found wherever you get your podcasts.

Starring Kristen Vaughan, Nat Cassidy and Dani Martinek

Designed by Bart Fasbender, Music by Adam Blau

Directed by Jordana Williams
