The Narrative of Mary (2 of 5)
Series: Christmas Characters
Donald Cantrell
Luke 1:26-38
In these five Character Studies we will do a first person characterization of how it might have been with Joseph, Mary, the Shepherds, the Wisemen, and lastly Jesus.

These five characterizations would be very useful if you dressed up or allowed someone else to dress up and have the moment narrated before your audience, letting them sense the emotions of the moment firsthand.

It was agreed upon that Joseph and I would become espoused, which is like a modern day engagement, but with much more meaning, we were literally married, but would not become a true husband and wife until one year later. We would not live together or ha ...
