53. The Birth and Infancy of Jesus with Ann Garrido

“Where is the newborn King of the Jews? We saw his star and have come to do him homage.” Matthew 2:2

 

Ann Garrido joins us on the podcast again today to discuss the deeper meanings that can be found in the Infancy Narratives that help us answer the question “Who are you Jesus?”
