Comments: PBS star art historian Sister Wendy provides articulate, expert, and enthusiastic interpretations of the many artistic depictions of the Nativity across the centuries.

But she also includes narrative on paintings by unknown artists, such as "Perhaps this artist is not very accomplished by later standards, but what an amazing painting she has made." Her descriptions reveal her love of the paintings and her passion for the Christmas story.
