In this inspiring one-man performance, Leonardo Defilippis captures the life and powerful meaning of Jesus Christ's infancy and early ministry. This unique dramatization is taken verbatim from the first six chapters of Saint Luke’s Gospel, and the music, costume, and set create an ancient Jewish atmosphere. Using only a cape and a candle for props, Defilippis transforms himself into the aged and suspicious Zechariah, the trusting and humble young Mary, the cynical Pharisees, the delightful if frightened Peter, and Jesus the Beloved Savior.

In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph. The virgin’s name was Mary. Upon arriving the angel said to her: “Rejoice, O highly favored daughter! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women.” She was deeply troubled by his words, and wondered what his greeting meant.
