A new play, 'Christmas Mubarak,' mixes Christian and Muslim stories of Jesus' birth

From the article:

The scene is familiar from many Nativity scenes arranged at this time of year: the Virgin Mary, cradling the newborn Jesus.
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.
