Then, the baby speaks, defending his mother’s innocence and declaring he has been appointed as a prophet.
That might come as a surprise to Christians in the audience of the new play “Christmas Mubarak.”

My own view is that Christianity and Islam are all descended from Judaism, obviously, and that the common elements make this type of event a great expression of that commonality.

Peace to you also.

Do you like the French Symbolists? Very metaphor heavy poetry.
