Historical Jesus ACAPELLA presents the enthralling, riveting, epic story of Christian music. One cannot underestimate the importance of Christian Hymns and how their powerful melodic messages greatly shaped modern Christianity. The Bible is the most significant book in the Western canon. It’s also the book upon which the post antiquity Western civilization was built upon, including the occidental music traditions. Together we will try and understand why this immensely important and influential book, religion, and its vocal hymns inspired so many of the faithful over the centuries. Although our planet is populated by adherents to many different religions, as well as secular atheists and agnostics, one should never undervalue the key role played by Christianity and the Judeo-Christian traditions in the evolution of the ecclesiastical and popular music we enjoy today.

On the Sunday before Easter is the Christian moveable feast of Palm Sunday that commemorates Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, an event mentioned in each of the four canonical Gospels. Its name originates from the palm branches waved by the crowd to greet and honor Jesus of Nazareth as he entered the city. Palm Sunday marks the first day of Holy Week and the beginning of the last week of the solemn season of Lent, preceding Eastertide in Western Christianity.

One of the most notable figures of the Elizabethan era, Sir Walter Raleigh (1552-1618) played a leading part in English colonization of America and helped defend England against the Spanish Armada. He was an English statesman, author, soldier, explorer, and a favorite courtier of England's Tudor Queen, Elizabeth the First. He was the younger half-brother of American explorer Sir Humphrey Gilbert and a cousin of adventurer Sir Richard Grenville. In 1594, Raleigh heard of a "City of Gold" in the New World and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to find it, publishing an account of his experiences in a book that contributed to the legend of "El Dorado". In 1595, Raleigh’s quest for the New World’s fabled ‘City of Gold’ led him on an exciting adventure in search of the legendary and mythical golden city of El Dorado.

LibriVox: Historical Tales by C. Morris, read by Kalynda

The Massacre of the Innocents is a story recounted in the Nativity narrative of the Gospel of Matthew (2:16–18) in which Herod the Great, king of Judea, orders the execution of all male infants who are two years old and under in the vicinity of Bethlehem. Some Christians venerate the Holy Innocents as the first Christian martyrs, but most modern scholarship finds no evidence that it happened outside the passages in Matthew and thus consider it a Myth.
