This strikingly beautiful book is illustrated by the renowned artist, Freiman Stoltzfus. It is for old and young alike. This is a retelling of the First Christmas. Using words taken directly from the Gospels according to Saint Matthew and Saint Luke, the book is set in the farmlands of the Amish community.
The story is told through fraktur- the script of the early Pennsylvania Dutch (really German) and illustrated with scenes from everyday Amish life. This amazingly illustrated book offers silent yet poignant tablaux of:
- The Annunciation
- The Visitation
- The Journey to Bethlehem
- The Adoration
- The Presentation
- The Visit of the Magi and
- The Flight Into Egypt
This is truly a book for ALL ages.
