The title, Mosaics of the First Christmas, is represented by the colorful mosaic letters on the cover of the book. The mosaic letters represent the multihued stories contained within this book. Just as the bright mosaic pieces come together to create a letter, the nine vibrant stories come together as vivid pieces of the First Christmas. As you read the lively stories, you will be carried back to the first Christmas and immersed in a new and enriched perspective of characters and events that we have both researched and imagined. We believe they are possible happenings because of the human spirit that desires to help family, friends or even strangers. Since the Biblical descriptions that surround this beautiful season are so brief, yet evocative, they have prompted our joyful dreams of what MAY have been! We know your imagination will flourish. Meet the playful, loving children of Bethlehem; or a young girl whose dream is to become a shepherdess following in the footsteps of her father; or the Roman Centurion whose life is dramatically altered by the birth of a child. Enjoy meeting all these wonderful characters and their stories as they become part of the wonderful story of the first Christmas!
