In one scene, Joseph says to Mary, “How do we explain God to his own son? I can’t. Powers and abilities that young Jesus has to keep hidden. He has “powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men”. The story takes place when Jesus is 7 years of age and already aware that he isn’t like other children.

I’m not fond of religious movies, but The Young Messiah asks interesting questions. Consequently, the Magi probably came to the house of Joseph and Mary when Jesus was around two years of age. While church tradition has the Magi visiting the infant in the manger, the Massacre of the Innocents took place by Roman soldiers killing infants under two years of age, so that Herod would not be usurped from his throne by a new King. Until recently, my version stopped behind Joseph. In the image above, from the doorway to the right, is a copy of an obscure Norman Rockwell painting. In this time of political warfare, I view the Doctor as the Hero/Heroine who never fights with weapons although The Doctor does use the evil of others to betray themselves. I’m a fan of the Doctor, if you haven’t already figured that out. Early yesterday morning, in what was my ‘night before last night’ I changed my playlist to “Christmas in Our Time”. I saw the first Christmas commercial on the day after Thanksgiving. By television commercial tradition, I’m about a month behind.

By the Roman Catholic tradition, I’m jumping the gun-Christmas is Wednesday, not today, Monday. I got the last room.įirst of all, I don’t believe that I am the arbiter of when Christmas occurs. You got a problem with that?Īstrid: This Christmas thing? What’s it about? I’m 903 years old and I’m the man who is gonna save your lives and all 6 billion people on the planet below. I’m from the planet Gallifrey in the Constellation of Kasterborous. Who put you in charge, and who the hell are you anyway?
