[stpaulsartsandmedia]

Hi @rsurfer4 The music score for "The Christmas Story" was created especially for this by Joe Faris. FYI It's unavailable for purchase or download at this time.

[lovellespice]

Every year at Christmas, God winks at us and says "Let us all be children"

[awarcup]

this is so lovely! what did you film with?

[stpaulsartsandmedia]

Thanks @awarcup It was shot on a Canon 5D. The main lenses used were a Zeiss 50mm f1.4 and a Canon 85mm f1.2L. We also used a cheaper Canon 17-85mm f4-5.6 lens on the sand shots so we didn't have to swing lenses in sand.

[lovellespice]

@stpaulsartsandmedia do you have stills from the shoot? it would be great to make christmas postcards out of them.. :D

[stpaulsartsandmedia]

Nice idea @lovellespice 

[pedrotmariz]

Que coisa linda!

[FreeeVerse]

And yes, I also totally enjoyed the THIRD wise man... The cutest of them all! :D

[FreeeVerse]

The kids are TOO CUTE :D I totally enjoyed this! What smart, talented, and ADORABLE kids!!!

[louiselah]

oh my gosh, this is just beautiful!! xxx

[janawooka]

So adorable!



[krypekeeper]

Little known fact. Christmas trees, giving gifts, and mistletoe are pagan practices.....Christmas wasn't even recognized till late 1800s in America

and the practice of taking in evergreen trees has been done for thousands of years before Christianity

The More You Know.....

[lovellespice]

@krypekeeper that's true.. a lot of pagan practices were incorporated into christianity to make the pagans feel more at home in their new religion.. that's inclusivity for you.. doesn't mean though that pagan BELIEFS were accepted, just their old habits, pretty much tolerable and actually good for cultural immersion

[BigHairyPat]

@krypekeeper It's not that little known. If you think about it it's actually pretty reasonable to think that new converts would bring some of their old traditions with them; sometimes even the timing of feast days. The traditions are often presented as poached by Christians looking to dupe new converts but they were most likely incorporated into the new religion by the converts themselves. Much the same way that migrants bring foods, clothing and traditions to their new countries.

[stpaulsartsandmedia]

Hi @krypekeeper @lovellespice @BigHairyPat

We keep debates about and criticism of Christianity and faith away from our SPANK (kids') films as we want to keep them a safe place for kids to visit. So far this discussion is innocent enough. If you'd like to get into deeper discussions, please head to our SPAM (adults') films. Thanks.

[stpaulsartsandmedia]

We've just made a prequel to this film called Good News of Great Joy. You can find it at our channel.

[tarynfarrell]

@stpaulsartsandmedia what is the last song playing? i recognize the melody but i forgot the name of the song! if you could let me know that'd be great!

[stpaulsartsandmedia]

[littledicemonster]

ahw I forgot: I read something with trouble about translating... you might know this already but anyway... There is this side: "Caption Tube" there you can make subtitles in any language and put it in your video, the viewers can turn them off or on at the cc button in the lower right hand corner of the video, they can also translate it into nearly every language!

Maybe this will solve the problem?

[stpaulsartsandmedia]

Hi @littledicemonster  There's no problem. Thanks.

[littledicemonster]

Hey there, this video is so lovely! I can't put my fascination about it in to words! =)

I was wondering if you are something like an organization? And if you are what are you doing mainly? Are you working with kids? I would like to hear the story behind this amazing video!

God bless you!

[stpaulsartsandmedia]

Hi @littledicemonster If you message us your email, I'll forward you some info we sent to a journalist last year.

[malhamilton7]

this is just beautiful, but i'm a little afraid that i won't be able to stop watching this during the whole year, not only during the christmas time :)

[AbbaKatieLollipop]

This is quite possibly, the most delightful thing I have seen or done this Christmas. Very, very well done and heart warming. It made me chuckle right out loud with delight.

[Isabell778]

I adore this video, and it defenitely is the best christmas video ive ever seen. Humans often forget its purpouse. It would be great if here in PR see more of it out there touching peoples lives :) But you guys are great, posting it going world wide! :) God Bless

[moodean]

My daughters and wife (and me of course) enjoyed this TREMENDOUSLY...what a way to share the message of Christmas. Thank you...and superb camera and audio job.

[DebraAndTodd]

Our favorite ever Christmas Pageant! So fresh, real, and fun. A true Christmas celebration! Kudos to all the kids, crew, and whoever wrote the terrific songs. And there are very few voiceovers I've heard in my life that I've enjoyed as much as the narration of this video. And voiceover is what I do for a living and have done the past 30 years, so I've heard a lot of VO. You guys were awesome. Bravo!

[steveyatesgraphics]

Glory to God in the highest! Kudos to everyone involved! Precious, sweet and adorable are all great descriptions of this piece. Ministering is another. Outstanding job kids, thanks to you adults involved too and praise God for the way He uses us to minister to each other! Merry Christmas!

[jono1098]

A wonderful version. Watched at Camden Uniting for our Christingle service. Even an Aussie enjoyed this. Great work! Merry Christmas, God bless.

[wvdh1]

Mike,

[TheMarkofJohn]

Nine people don't like that there weren't glowsticks in biblical times.

[kwvs1210]

Love it.. how these children explain the true Story - love their facial expressions too, "Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us. And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger” (Lk2:15). Wonderful Christmas to ya! @kurtwvs

[jenssta]

"she had a baby in her tummay... and she would have been REALLY hiv-vay..." lol!
