The shock of Christmas. Christmas has become so familiar that it is easy to forget how shocking it was, especially to the humans who became key players in what was a cosmic drama. This little book tries to imagine what the encounters with angels and stars meant to the characters in the original story: Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, the wise men as well as what the Christmas event might mean for us now. To help with the latter, the final section is called 'Christmas: the mornings after' and shares ways in which Buddhist insights can help readers encounter and live the radical teachings of Jesus.
