In this episode, we're talking about the history of Jesus's birth.

I'm Dom Bettinelli and joining me today is Jimmy Aiken.

Hey Jimmy, Patty Dom.

Jimmy, what are we doing on today's episode?

Normally for Christmas, we release a weird questions program based on an episode of Catholic

Answers Live. However, this time we're doing something a little different. Instead of using a weird questions

episode we're going to be using an episode in which Sycalet interviews me about the very

first Christmas. Jesus's birth is very mysterious to a lot of people and the Christmas

cards and Christmas TV specials we see often aren't accurate. So, Sai is going to be

asking me about what we really know about the birth of Jesus and how we know it. So with that, Merry Christmas

everyone. Hello and welcome back to Catholic Answers Live I'm Cy Kelly your hosts and every

now and then I get to do what I want or talk about what I want and the one thing I would like to do in preparing

for Christmas is to talk to Jimmy Aiken about the Nativity and I've got a whole bunch

of questions to ask Jimmy so we're going to just make it a conversation this hour as we close out the week.

So I hope it's a conversation that you will enjoy.

We're going to let assistant producer Marie take a break for the hour.

We won't be taking calls.

We're just going to be having a discussion me

and Jimmy about the nativity of Jesus Jimmy Aiken of course is senior apologist here
