Pastor Andrew takes us through a sort of "Christmas pageant for adults" that is "Protoevangelium of James," (from 150 CE)a sometimes wild and, perhaps unintentionally, humorous origin story of both Mary and Jesus. In this first part, we learn about the miraculous way Mary was born and how she met Joseph that takes a radical departure from the circumstances found in the gospels yet still at times attempts to merge the gospel stories.
