ChurchMag / Creative / Christmas Story Animation in Less than 3 Minutes! [Video]

Christmas Story Animation in Less than 3 Minutes! [Video]

Christmas Story Animation in Less than 3 Minutes! [Video]

December 11, 2013
by James Cooper

Last year I posted about the Christmas Story Animation I’ve made for my Christmas website. This year I’ve made some tweaks to it but also made a condensed version into a video!

I got the inspiration to make the video for The Nativity Factor, a video competition, running during December 2013 by one of the big TV channels in the UK, to tell the Nativity story in less than three minutes.

It was really fun – but quite challenging – to edit down and screen cap into ‘The Very Fast (and fairly accurate) Christmas Story Animation’!

    Nobody read the Bible…in the Bible you dont find Jesus birth was in a place with animals.

      Well, actually you do! Why else would Jesus have been laid to rest in a manger (a feeding trough for cattle – Luke 2:7 & 12)?

      I don’t say that Jesus was born in a ‘stable’, He was more like you have been in a house. In those times, people often slept in an upper level of a house (including the ‘guest room/area’ – which is probably the correct meaning of the often used translation of ‘inn’) and the animals lived beneath and were used as a form of heating!

      Mangers were often stone troughs cut into the wall. So if the holy family were staying in the lower area of a family member’s house (with the animals!), they used the manger as a make-shift bed.

      So yes, although the Bible doesn’t specifically mention animals, ALL the research I’ve done (which is a lot!) says that it’s very strongly inferred that he was born with animals and any contemporary person of the time would have assumed so from the Biblical text!
