This
inspiring musical celebration brings the Christmas
story to vivid life as never before.
Through song, the timeless characters beloved the world over -
Mary,
Joseph, Elizabeth and the Shepherds - reveal their humanity and passion. Recorded live in Ireland, this historic
premiere of The
Birth of Christ brings together a chorus of Catholic and Protestant
singers
who for "One Blessed Night" put aside their sectarian differences and
raised
their voices in unity and peace around the central mystery of their
faith. Featuring a narration of Luke's
Nativity by
Liam Neeson, this musical treasure will awaken you again to the
startling
wonder of Christmas.
