Picked out of obscurity, this is the story of the people God called to prepare the way for the birth of the Messiah. Hear the narrative of Christ's birth like you've never experienced before.

Mary and Joseph are traveling to Bethlehem to take part in the census, but things aren't going exactly as planned. Will Mary's fears about giving birth away from home come true? Will Joseph find his relative's house where they are supposed to stay? Or will the chaos of the crowds overtake them?

Mary is home, and much has happened while she was away. What is the status of her betrothal to Joseph? Is there still strife between Mary and her father? Will what the Lord is doing with Mary cost her these precious relationships?

Elizabeth and Zechariah find themselves entertaining another surprise visitor, Elizabeth's cousin Mary. Can Mary find safety anywhere now that she is no longer welcome at home, or is she destined to raise her child alone?

Anna has noticed how distracted her daughter Mary has become. She thinks it's because of Mary's upcoming marriage to Joseph, but Mary says that's not the problem. How will Mary's parents react when she finally sits them down to tell them the truth?

Elizabeth is struggling. Having come to terms with not having children earlier in life, she's now realizing it also means no grandchildren. Her husband, Zechariah, is about to leave for Jerusalem for two weeks. He hopes that he will finally be picked for one of the most special of priestly duties. Does continued disappointment await both of them?
