00:00 I guess it's important because the commercial side of Christmas is fine, but without Jesus
00:07 and the birth of Jesus, we wouldn't even have Christmas. And it's important to remember
00:27 that it was celebrated and what Jesus stood for. So Jesus stood for not just forgiveness
00:34 of sins and God's message, but helping others. One of the signs we've got outside our garden
00:42 is I think Jesus was the greatest gift of all. We wanted to bring that message back
00:52 to families to help them remember that God does look after us. So there are nativity
00:59 saints that have been brought in by members of our parish. So they're all different. They're
01:06 from around the world. I think we've got a couple over there which are from Peru. I think
01:13 there's some from Germany, some from England. There's some that belong to our church. We've
01:19 also got our big one over in our ladies' chapel, which we set up every year in the ladies'
01:26 chapel.
