The story

In the Roman province of Judea, rabbi Zechariah has a vision of the Annunciation and the coming birth of the Messiah, which leaves him unable to speak. One year later, Herod the Great orders that all young boys be massacred in Judea, extending to Nazareth, where 14-year-old Mary lives with her family and is betrothed to Joseph. Despite the people of Nazareth living simple lives, high taxes are enforced on them; one man, unable to pay, has a third of his land seized and his daughter pressed into debt slavery.
