(Deva Industries, Inc., June 8, 2015)

Using her creative and unique Olet characters, Lea Frazier brings to life the Christmas Story in a way no other author/illustrator has. The angel Gabriel informs Mary that she will give birth to God’s son Jesus. When Mary tells her fiancé Joseph, he becomes upset. But Gabriel appears to Joseph in a dream and tells him that all is OK, Mary’s baby is the son of God. So Mary and Joseph get married. When Mary is heavy with child, she and Joseph must travel to Bethlehem for a census. Unable to find lodgings there, they sleep in a stable where Mary gives birth to the baby Jesus. Angels announce the birth to shepherds, who come to worship the child. Wise men from afar also come bearing gifts and are guided to the child by a star. And so it was that the first Christmas came to be. The Olet Christmas Story is 1st in a series of the Olet Bible Stories that are being brought to life through the unique artistry of Lea Frazier.
