During the Christmas season, we sing songs, exchange gifts and help the less fortunate—all because of a story about a baby born over 2,000 years ago.

But is this just a story along the lines of the Easter bunny and tooth fairy,

or did the events surrounding the birth of Jesus unfold as recorded in the gospel accounts?

This series explores some of the supporting characters of the Christmas story, who help to show that this is, indeed, a true story.
