Mary’s Obedient Donkey from Nazareth Ipakos

What if animals could talk? What wonders have they seen?
What would they tell us? What would they have to say about
the very first Christmas?

A very obedient donkey from Nazareth, called Ipakos, tells the story of his life
with Mary and Joseph.

A normal day-trip to the well in Nazareth, marks the beginning of events that led
to the greatest birthday celebration in history—a birthday that has been celebrated
for over 2000 years, and that is still joyously celebrated yearly in our present time.

In a simple stable, under the biggest and brightest star in the sky, Jesus was born.
He was worshipped as a King, by both the lowly shepherds and by the majestic
Wise Magi Kings of the East.

Follow Ipakos on this beautiful, warm journey of obedience and trust in God, and rejoice in the true meaning of Christmas Day!
