The Crèche

An elderly monk in Fifteenth Century Florence creates a relic that becomes a family heirloom and aids a discouraged twelve-year old boy five hundred years later.

Through family tragedy, isolation from his parents, and an increasing awareness of evil, Carter Mason's cynicism and despair heighten. As the Holidays draw near, he is despondent that even this joyful season no longer holds the power over him it once did.

To his mother's horror, the secret she had kept from her husband and children begins to reveal itself two days prior to Christmas, requiring each family member to question their beliefs in light of the miraculous event two thousand years earlier.
