0:09.6	I know that it is very strange to post this in the middle of the year, but as you might have noticed, I am trying to catch up with the videos that I've done in this podcast form and hopefully within a few months we will reach
0:21.8	a point where the videos and the podcast will be coming out at the same time so that we don't
0:26.7	have this lag. But nonetheless, the discussion on the birth of Christ and on nativity is one
