The One Christmas Video You Have to See

Watch and know that children with Down’s Syndrome display the power of Jesus’s incarnation.

By Anika Smith Published on December 12, 2016

In a time where videos of happy Down’s Syndrome children are banned in some places, this video of a nativity play is joyously subversive.

The mother interviewed for the video shares her story of learning to accept the gift God gave in her child with Down’s Syndrome as a parallel to Mary’s acceptance of being chosen by God to bear Christ. Don’t bother trying not to cry, but do keep your eyes on the children — and share this video with a friend who needs reminding that Jesus came as one of us to be present in the times we grieve and don’t understand.
