The Early Years

Explore the strange fables that surround the birth of Jesus – and learn how science and archaeology are showing that there may be more credence to the Christmas stories than many think. The Star of Bethlehem, for example, may have existed as an astrological event rather an astronomical one. Follow the childhood and early adult years of Jesus, using a first century living museum newly opened in Nazareth. Join young Jesus on his first trip to Jerusalem, where the fantastic temples are recreated with computer graphics, and witness a re-enactment of his baptism.
