Christensen, president of the Utah Area, presided at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Saratoga Springs Utah Temple. In his remarks, he spoke of an experience he had walking the temple site a month earlier: "I realized…how this particular temple will bless many individuals and families, including your children, your marriages, your families, and, especially, many of your ancestors." He added: "This is the place where your children and families will be protected from the evils that are ever present in the world today, and to make sacred covenants with the Lord." His words reached an audience of tens of thousands of members and guests gathered both at the temple site and at local meetinghouses. Following the formal proceedings, attendees were invited to take pictures and turn a shovelful of dirt to commemorate the historic occasion.<span style="font-size: 14.25px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">2</span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #626262; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-indent: 30px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 14.25px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #626262; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-indent: 30px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 14.25px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #626262; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-indent: 30px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 14.25px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></p><h4 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #382206; font-family: Cinzel, "Times New Roman", Georgia, serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 22px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></h4><h4 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #382206; font-family: Cinzel, "Times New Roman", Georgia, serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 22px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Temple Quote</h4><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #626262; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-indent: 30px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 14.25px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></p><div class="textwidget" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #626262; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 19px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">"And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.

There are so many blessings and joyful things that come from our membership. When we’re baptized, we receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. That gift provides us guidance and direction, helps us repent and be clean, and changes our lives. These blessings are a result of living on the covenant path—or living faithfully according to the covenants we’ve made and will make, and doing the things that help us stay faithful.</p><section style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Ensign:Serif", McKay, "McKay ldsLat", Palatino, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino-Roman, serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><header style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font: inherit; margin: 3.556em 0px 0.889em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><h2 data-aid="126096958" id="title2" style="--height: 38.4063px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Ensign:Sans", Zoram, "Zoram ldsLat", Arial, sans-serif-light, sans-serif; font-size: 1.778em; font-stretch: normal; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Covenant Path and You</h2></header><p data-aid="126096960" id="p2" style="--height: 287.969px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0px 0px 0.889em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">So, what are those covenants? They include being baptized, being confirmed and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, (for young men) being ordained to the Aaronic Priesthood and then (once they’re at least 18) to the Melchizedek Priesthood, receiving the temple endowment, and being sealed in the temple. “Covenants with God help us to know who we really are.”<a class="note-ref" data-scroll-id="note1" href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/new-era/2015/03/be-a-missionary-now/your-covenant-path?lang=eng#note1" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><sup class="marker" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.75em; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 0; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0.1em;">1</sup></a> With each covenant, we promise Heavenly Father to strive to live as He has asked us to.

By President Dallin H. Oaks
First Counselor in the First Presidency
Knowing that we are all children of God gives us a vision of the worth of others and the ability to rise above prejudice.
The Lord’s teachings are for eternity and for all of God’s children. In this message I will give some examples from the United States, but the principles I teach are applicable everywhere.
We live in a time of anger and hatred in political relationships and policies. We felt it this summer when some went beyond peaceful protests and engaged in destructive behavior. We feel it in some current campaigns for public offices. Unfortunately, some of this has even spilled over into political statements and unkind references in our Church meetings.
In a democratic government we will always have differences over proposed candidates and policies. However, as followers of Christ we must forgo the anger and hatred with which political choices are debated or denounced in many settings.
The Sermon on the Mount
Here is one of our Savior’s teachings, probably well known but rarely practiced:
“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
“But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you” (Matthew </span><a class="yt-simple-endpoint style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiSR4yPZtP4&t=343s" spellcheck="false" style="background-color: #f9f9f9; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; text-align: start; text-decoration: var(--yt-endpoint-text-regular-decoration, none); white-space: pre-wrap;">5:43</a><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto" face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); border: 0px; color: #030303; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;">–44).1
For generations, Jews had been taught to hate their enemies, and they were then suffering under the domination and cruelties of Roman occupation. Yet Jesus taught them, “Love your enemies” and “do good to them that … despitefully use you.”
Bring forth the record
What revolutionary teachings for personal and political relationships! But that is still what our Savior commands. In the Book of Mormon we read, “For verily, verily I say unto you, he that hath the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil, who is the father of contention, and he stirreth up the hearts of men to contend with anger, one with another” (3 Nephi </span><a class="yt-simple-endpoint style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiSR4yPZtP4&t=689s" spellcheck="false" style="background-color: #f9f9f9; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; text-align: start; text-decoration: var(--yt-endpoint-text-regular-decoration, none); white-space: pre-wrap;">11:29</a><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto" face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); border: 0px; color: #030303; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;">).
Loving our enemies and our adversaries is not easy. “Most of us have not reached that stage of … love and forgiveness,” President Gordon B. Hinckley observed, adding, “It requires a self-discipline almost greater than we are capable of.”2 But it must be essential, for it is part of the Savior’s two great commandments to “love the Lord thy God” and to “love thy neighbour as thyself” (Matthew </span><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto" face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); border: 0px; color: #030303; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;">22:37</span><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto" face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); border: 0px; color: #030303; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;">, 39). And it must be possible, for He also taught, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find” (Matthew 7:7).3
How do we keep these divine commandments in a world where we are also subject to the laws of man? Fortunately, we have the Savior’s own example of how to balance His eternal laws with the practicalities of man-made laws. When adversaries sought to trap Him with a question about whether Jews should pay taxes to Rome, He pointed to the image of Caesar on their coins and declared, “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s” (Luke </span><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto" face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); border: 0px; color: #030303; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;">20:25</span><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto" face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); border: 0px; color: #030303; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;">).4
So, we are to follow the laws of men (render unto Caesar) to live peacefully under civil authority, and we follow the laws of God toward our eternal destination. But how do we do this—especially how do we learn to love our adversaries and our enemies?
The Savior’s teaching not to “contend with anger” is a good first step. The devil is the father of contention, and it is he who tempts men to contend with anger. He promotes enmity and hateful relationships among individuals and within groups. President Thomas S. Monson taught that anger is “Satan’s tool,” for “to be angry is to yield to the influence of Satan. No one can make us angry. It is our choice.”5 Anger is the way to division and enmity. We move toward loving our adversaries when we avoid anger and hostility toward those with whom we disagree. It also helps if we are even willing to learn from them.

Here are 5 things that set it apart from other versions of the Nativity story</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "source sans pro" , sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "source sans pro" , sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">~ Church News - </span><span class="article-info__author-name" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #df4848; cursor: pointer; font-family: "source sans pro" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 700; margin-right: 4px; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><a class="article-info__authors" href="https://www.thechurchnews.com/author/aeyredeseretnews-com" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #df4848; cursor: pointer; font-family: "source sans pro", sans-serif; font-size: 13px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">By Aubrey Eyre</a></span><br />
<br />
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
The story of the birth of Christ is well-known. Repeated and retold time and time again for two millennia through scriptures, stories, plays, pageants, films, photos and more, it is a story central to the celebration of the Christmas season for Christians around the world.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
This year, as part of the Light the World campaign, <a href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #df4848; cursor: pointer; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;">The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints</a>, in partnership with <a href="https://www.boncom.com/" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #df4848; cursor: pointer; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;">Boncom</a>, released a new video highlighting the story of the Nativity. “<a href="https://www.comeuntochrist.org/light-the-world/the-christ-child" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #df4848; cursor: pointer; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;">The Christ Child</a>” tells the familiar story of Christ’s birth — but in a surprisingly new and meaningful way, explained Jeff Taylor, who worked as co-creative director of the film. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
But even as familiar and revered as the tale of the Nativity may seem, the reality of the story can sometimes get lost in the pageantry of its retelling, said Taylor, vice president and executive creative director of Boncom.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, to accompany the release of “The Christ Child” and highlight the importance of the Nativity story again this Christmas season, here are five interesting facts and details about what makes this portrayal of the Nativity story different and how it plays an important role in the Church’s <a href="https://www.thechurchnews.com/living-faith/2019-11-14/light-the-world-campaign-encourages-all-to-serve-as-christ-did-one-by-one-166898" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #df4848; cursor: pointer; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Light the World</a> campaign.</div>

<h3 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 1.33333rem; line-height: 1.125; margin: 0px 0px 32px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bolder;">“The Christ Child” is a gift</span></h3>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
“The Christ Child” film is meant to be “a gift that we give to the world,” said Tom Pratt, supervisor of mass media efforts for the Church’s Missionary Department. That’s part of why it is being shared and promoted before Thanksgiving, Pratt explained — to give people the opportunity to get together and watch the video and talk about it and the message of light that it shares. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
This year’s Light the World campaign theme is “<a href="https://www.thechurchnews.com/living-faith/2019-11-14/light-the-world-campaign-encourages-all-to-serve-as-christ-did-one-by-one-166898" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #df4848; cursor: pointer; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;">Light the World — one by one</a>,” and that theme really means two things, Pratt said. First, it means to minister as the Savior did, reaching out to individuals with the love and light of Christ.

By sharing the story of Christ’s birth through a new video, the hope is that people who see it will be willing to share it, Pratt said. “Hopefully people who see this will then invite others into their homes to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas by gathering and sharing it with others. It’s meant to be shared.”</div>
<h3 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 1.33333rem; line-height: 1.125; margin: 0px 0px 32px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bolder;">The story of the Nativity is real</span></h3>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
Although their story is familiar and has been characterized in many different ways, it is important to remember that Mary and Joseph were real people with a divine calling to bring the Savior into this world. The shepherds and the wisemen too were real people who came to worship at the feet of the Savior after His mortal birth, explained John Foss of Kaleidoscope Pictures, who wrote and directed the film. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
“We try to present these people as real people, in extraordinary circumstances,” he said. “We tried to strip away a lot of the pageantry. … We wanted to access the story from a really human point of view.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
By the very nature of the story and the way it is shared in the video, the goal was to evoke a sense that “this event really happened, and the people that we normally think of as part of a pageant were real flesh and blood people and this really happened to them,” Pratt said. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
And for Taylor, one of the most powerful and human<br />
moments came with the reactions of the wisemen. Too often, he said, the wisemen are presented with a lot of flair and pageantry like gold foil turbans reverently bowing before the baby Jesus before simply backing away quietly.</div>

“But in the scriptures, it says that when they were come into the house, they fell down and worshipped Him,” Taylor said. “To me, that moment is just one of the most precious moments in the entire film, these wisemen realizing who it is they’re kneeling before.”<br />
<br />
<span class="inline-image__caption" style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 9.77776px;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.33333rem; font-weight: bolder;">“The Christ Child” is </span><span style="font-size: 1.33333rem;">more historically accurate</span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
Throughout the entire process of creating the film, the goal was to present the Nativity story in the most accurate way possible, Taylor said. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
“We consulted with historians, biblical scholars, and we tried to create the atmosphere, the language, the dress, all these other details to the best of our knowledge,” Taylor said. “And as a result, you feel immersed in the story, it feels like you’re there. It feels like you’re in the fields of Judea, it feels like you’re in the in the cave where she gave birth. It’s like you’re watching a real moment happen.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
As a starting point for getting things as historically accurate as possible, Taylor explained that, even during casting, they tried to match the actors to the ages and ethnicities of the people they were representing.<br />
<br />
In preparing for his role, the actor who played Joseph— who is of the Jewish faith — did a three-day fast. He was also more social and interactive on this set than he is normally, Taylor explained. </div>

<span class="inline-image__credit" style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 9.77776px; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span>
Watching that kind of dedication and preparation from the actors only added to the realism and importance of the project, Taylor said.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
Another decision made to add to the realism was to have all dialogue throughout the film spoken in Aramaic without subtitles.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
“We wanted them to talk to one another because they would have talked to one another,” Taylor said. But without any historic or scriptural records of what they might have said to one another, the filmmakers didn’t want the audience to read too much into what was being said. Having them speak in Aramaic was more historically accurate and allows for the dialogue to not detract from the story as it is recorded, Taylor explained.</div>
<h3 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 1.33333rem; line-height: 1.125; margin: 0px 0px 32px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bolder;">There is a better understanding of “No room at the inn”</span></h3>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
One key difference represented in this telling of the Nativity story as opposed to previous versions produced by the Church is a better understanding of how Mary and Joseph ended up in the humble circumstances of a stable.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
Bethlehem was built on a hillside full of limestone caves, and people often would build their homes in front of the caves or inlets and then use the caves as a place to keep animals and hay and such, Taylor explained.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
Additionally, as Pratt and Taylor explained, the original Greek word — “katalyma” — used by the prophet Luke to describe an “inn” is the same word he later uses to describe the “upper room” or “guest chamber” where Jesus prepared the Last Supper. As such, historians and scholars of ancient scripture who were consulted for the film shared their belief that rather than approaching an “inn” and being turned away, it is more likely that Mary and Joseph journeyed to Bethlehem and sought to stay with Joseph’s family. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
Because their journey coincided with the journey of many people returning to Bethlehem to pay taxes in their homeland, it is likely that Joseph’s family home would have been filled with guests and that no room would have been available in the “upper room” or “guest chamber.” That meant Mary and Joseph would have then retreated to the privacy and comfort of the family stable — or limestone cave near the family home for the delivery of their baby.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
“A whole tradition revolves around the idea that they must have gone to a lot of inns and they got turned away and there was a mean innkeeper,” Pratt said. “But none of that stuff is in the scriptures. So when you go back to the scriptures, you realize that one word … it actually kind of changes part of the story into something more meaningful. There was no room in the guest room or the living quarters so they stayed in the stable.”</div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
Another thing the filmmakers learned from historians and scholars is that sheep herding was a family business in first century Israel, and as such, there would have been women and children among the shepherds in the field spoken of in the scriptures. </div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
“So we did a little something different there to show them as families and include a boy and a girl who are part of that experience,” Pratt said of the scene with the shepherds.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
There is even a small moment where Mary and a young shepherd girl look at one another that is different from previous versions of the Nativity story, Taylor said. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
“It’s a very subtle, but very tender little moment where Mary looks up and the female shepherd just smiles at her, and Mary smiles back,” Taylor said. “It’s one of those tiny details that isn’t a huge scene-stealer but just creates something that’s different and special.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
Another decision regarding the shepherds that departs from many previous depictions of the story was the omission of the heavenly visitor to the shepherds. While the shepherds are depicted as seeing a light, no attempts were made to demonstrate what that visitation would have looked like, Pratt said. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
“We wanted to see their faces and reactions and the kind of awe and wonder they experienced,” he said, adding that seeing how it would have been for them, through their expressions, is what makes it more real.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
Additionally, the wisemen in the film are shown using a small tool to follow the star, Pratt said. It’s an ancient form of sextant that is historically accurate to the time period, he said. And although there is no record of them having used such a tool in the scriptures, it is likely that they may have used something similar as such tools did exist at that time. </div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
In that sense then, the film captures and includes small details that help set the time and culture of the story in an accurate way while also not veering too far from what is recorded by scripture.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
“It doesn’t really explain where they came from,” Pratt said of the wisemen, because scripture doesn’t state that either. “It doesn’t explain why it took them so long to embark on their journey, but they were clearly men who knew and understood the prophecies and the signs of His [Christ’s] coming and came to find this Child.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 32px; padding: 0px;">
And sticking to what has been agreed on by most New Testament scholars, the film depicts how Christ would have been closer to a toddler’s age by the time the wisemen arrived, he said. </div>

For Taylor, going through the process of bringing this story to life through this film has reinforced that the story of the Nativity is history. “This is the greatest project I have ever been a part of,” he said.<br />

AMAZING! This new rendition of "<b>How Great Thou Art</b>" performed by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/byumenschorus/">BYU Men's Chorus</a> was recorded and choreographed extremely well in this newly released music video. It is super powerful and captures faith and devotion to God and His wonderful work and plan. Thank you to all involved!</div>

The production team was made up of BYU students and alumni with skills in film, dance, and music. One particularly noteworthy characteristic throughout the video is its beautiful symbolic choreography, with movement that allowed the men's chorus to reflect their spiritual feelings through their bodies. "It was a special experience uniting our talents to develop a distinctive visual language and performer movement to try to convey the miracle of the Savior’s Atonement, [which] brings all that have fallen back into His glory and love," says Cardon. </div>

The music video was filmed in Utah at Rock Canyon, just above the Provo Temple, and at Aspen Grove Sundance Ski Resort. Days before the shoot, the weather was looking unpredictable. Rosalind Hall, director of the BYU Men's Chorus, even stopped a choral showcase concert just to request the audience to pray for good weather the day of filming. The day of the shoot was sunny, without rain or snow.<br />

Hall is grateful for this miracle and believes the video has the power to touch every soul in an extraordinary way. Hall says, "Before I retire, I wanted to try to have it reach more people than the relatively few who could experience it in our own concert hall. I knew that a music video was the only way to do this, as seeing the men’s faces as they sang their testimony of the Savior was what made it really special."<br />

The video has been received well, with over 16,000 views on Youtube and only one negative comment. In response to that comment, which was about the men not kneeling uniformly and gracefully, Parkin responded, “In our initial rehearsal, I [wished they kneeled more uniformly and gracefully] too. But then I realized that when the <b>Savior</b> comes, we will each bow in our own way—imperfectly, struggling under the load of our burdens, wrestling with our faults and weaknesses. And there is great beauty in that, because in our weaknesses, will we be made whole. And that is why we will proclaim, ‘My God, <b>How Great Thou Art!</b>’” ~LDS Living</div>

WORCESTER, Mass. — President M. Russell Ballard urged members of <b>The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints</b> in New England on Sunday evening to “join a new movement” by inviting their neighbors, colleagues and friends on social media to pray for the United States, its leaders and its families.</div>

“Our nation was founded on prayer, it was preserved by prayer and we need prayer again,” said the acting president of the church’s Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. “I plead with you this evening to pray for this country, for our leaders, for our people and for the families that live in this great nation founded by God.”</div>

Speaking to an estimated 12,000 people gathered in the DCU Center, the senior church leader reminded the congregation that “this country was established and preserved by our founding fathers and mothers, who repeatedly acknowledged the hand of God through prayer.”</div>

This was a very exciting devotional to attend. My witness of living apostles has been strengthened even more after listening and watching them speak live. Here we are :) watching the two apostles leave the stage. They both have a glow about them and are filled with love, faith, and dedication to the Lord's work. I am so grateful for the knowledge I have of Jesus Christ's restored gospel and church.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #212225; font-family: "palatino" , , "pahoran ldslat" , "pahoran" , , serif; font-size: 18px;">Nephi is a great example of faith by taking action and doing the things that he was commanded of the Lord. In my own life I have found this same principle to be true. When I exercise faith and take action in righteous endeavors the Lord blesses me and prepares a way for His purposes to be accomplished. He loves each of us and wants us to be happy. I am very grateful for this new video series which brings The Book of Mormon Stories to life!</span></div>

I have read The Book of Mormon more than a dozen times and love the peace and clarity it brings me. It teaches my family and I to build our home and lives upon the Rock of our salvation, even the Lord, Jesus Christ. It shares several examples of faith and enduring despite challenges. It teaches us about the Atonement and Resurrection. It teaches us about hope and charity. It teaches us about humility and obedience...and so much more!

The Book of Mormon was preserved to come forth in these latter days to convince “the Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God.” Its purpose is to verify the divine Sonship of the Nazarene to those who “ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ.” (<a class="scripture-ref" href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/moro/10.4?#3" old-href="../../../../scriptures/bofm/moro/10.html?verse=4#p4" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #177c9c; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Moro. 10:4</a>.)</div>

The divinity of Christ is proclaimed by prophets in the Book of Mormon. They had a conviction of his divinity because the Holy Ghost had revealed it unto them.</div>
<div data-aid="126798169" id="p4" style="--height: 168px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 0.889em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Through the instrumentality of the Holy Ghost, these prophets also knew that their writings were to bear testimony that Jesus is the Christ. This they solemnly did, more than I had ever realized. In a word-by-word study, I have found some form of the Lord’s name mentioned an average of every 1.7 verses in the Book of Mormon. (See Table 1.)</div>

I have found that the Savior is referred to by one hundred different names—from the first reference to him as “Lord” in 1 Nephi 1:1 [<a class="scripture-ref" href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/1-ne/1.1?#0" old-href="../../../../scriptures/bofm/1-ne/1.html?verse=1#p1" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #177c9c; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">1 Ne. 1:1</a>] to the final reference to him as “the Eternal Judge” in Moroni 10:34. [<a class="scripture-ref" href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/moro/10.34?#33" old-href="../../../../scriptures/bofm/moro/10.html?verse=34#p34" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #177c9c; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Moro. 10:34</a>] (See Table 2.) Each of the one hundred names signifies a different attribute or characteristic of the Lord and was used appropriately to convey the prophets’ recognition of who he is and what his mission represents. For example, “Savior” means that Christ came to save his people from their sins. “Holy One” signifies that he is holy and without sin, being perfect in all things. “God of the Whole Earth” reflects his universal interest in all men and their redemption. “Lord of Hosts” indicates that Christ is a God of battles. And “Lord Omnipotent” means that Christ is the Lord of all, possessing all power. The names given to our Lord take on new significance when they are approached through a thoughtful and sensitive study of their meanings. His profound character, his singular mission, and his divine relationship to man are thereby more clearly revealed.</div>
<div data-aid="126798171" id="p6" style="--height: 308px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 0.889em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Further understanding of man’s relationship to Christ, the central figure of the Book of Mormon, occurs through a study of the periods of apostasy, contention, and war. Fewer references to Christ are made during these periods of darkness, probably because his influence is lessened due to the unrighteous actions of man. (See <a class="scripture-ref" href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/alma/50" old-href="../../../../scriptures/bofm/alma/50.html" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #177c9c; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Alma 50–59</a>, for example.) During periods of peace, joy, and prosperity, which come through man’s keeping the commandments, the names of Christ are used profusely, indicating the abundant presence of his Spirit. (See <a class="scripture-ref" href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/4-ne/1" old-href="../../../../scriptures/bofm/4-ne/1.html" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #177c9c; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">4 Ne. 1</a>, for example.) Thus, the righteous actions of the people brought the influence and blessings of Christ among them.</div>
<div data-aid="126798172" id="p7" style="--height: 308px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 0.889em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Being aware of the number of references to Christ, having an understanding of the meanings for each name, and knowing when his influence can be greatest upon the earth can inspire reverential awe for our Savior. The witness of his divinity, however, must come personally to each of us—we cannot rely exclusively on the testimonies of others. The conviction that Jesus is the Christ occurs only when God, the Eternal Father, manifests the truth of it “by the power of the Holy Ghost.” (<a class="scripture-ref" href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/moro/10.4?#3" old-href="../../../../scriptures/bofm/moro/10.html?verse=4#p4" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #177c9c; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Moro. 10:4</a>.) To the prayerful and the sincere, the Book of Mormon bears a powerful testimony that “Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God.”</div>

Today was a very special day for our family and this young man. I had the privilege and opportunity to baptize my son and to confirm him a member of <b>The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.</b> This was a day I highly anticipated from the moment he was born into our family until today, 8 years later to be a part of his special day. He is our first born of three children and was very excited to be baptized. As his parents we have made a diligent effort in raising and teaching our children in a Christ centered home. We strive to teach them the importance of following Jesus Christ and becoming a disciple for Him. Our son has been very active and involved in primary at church as well since he was small and able to walk and has learned of His Savior's love for him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As His father I am very pleased with his decision to follow our Savior, <b>Jesus Christ</b> into the waters of baptism. As a new member of the church, he promised and covenanted to take upon him the name of <b>Jesus Christ,</b> to follow Him and keep His commandments. He has chosen to be obedient to Christ's command to Come Follow Him and be baptized in His name.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In return our Heavenly Father has blessed and promised my son to have the Gift of the Holy Ghost. This Gift is the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost, a member of the Godhead, to lead and guide him in the paths of safety. He is a teacher of all truth and a comforter for all who are received unto baptism by authority.</div>

<br />
This was a very special and sacred day. The spirit was very strong to be at our Stake baptism and see my son along with six other eight year olds being baptized. We each took our turn as a ward to be in the baptismal room with our family and ward members. I found a sister in our neighboring stake who makes baptismal towels with the name and date of baptism and a shield saying CTR - "Choose The Right." I presented this to Max right before his baptism. He was excited and now has a clean, white towel to remind him of his baptismal day.<br />
<br />
The spirit was very strong and I got emotional confirming and blessing my son with the Gift of the Holy Ghost. His blessing was beautiful and Heavenly Father blessed him with many promises and traits. It was a very neat experience and one I look forward to having again with my other children.<br />
