"Amahl and The Night Visitors" marks the beginning of great things to come!"

The Story

Amahl, a poor and disabled shepherd boy who is only able to walk with a crutch, is playing his pipe and gazing at the night sky. He has a very active imagination and sometimes makes up tales, to the aggravation of his poor mother. But tonight's tale of a huge star shining brightly over Bethlehem and Three Kings who come to the door is indeed the truth.

Be sure to join us as this heart warming story of the Three Wise Men and their miraculous encounter with Amahl and his mother as they traverse the desert bringing their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to the new born Christ Child.
