VITAVIUS
Vitavius is the story of love overcoming hate; strength overcoming weakness; and morality overcoming ambition. It is a story that not only centers on the Biblical birth of Jesus, but also on the idea that we must be protectors of all the children.

Being an orphan must have been difficult for children of any age during Biblical times. However, children also became wise beyond their years because they had to fend for themselves. We write about a group of orphans in Bethlehem whose hearts go out to two lonely travelers.
The Shepherds
Why did the announcement come to the shepherds? Why not to priests and kings? Why should they be chosen to be first to see the Son of God? They were looked upon with scorn as the lowliest of men, especially by the rabbi. Can you imagine their reaction to the news of the angels? They spread the news of the birth of the Messiah and were granted respect by the society that had rebuked them!

The Inn Keeper’s Gift
Many people, like Joseph and Mary, were traveling to Bethlehem because of the census. What was it like to run an inn in Biblical times? Was it like checking in to a fancy inn today? How did the inn keeper feel when he saw Mary and Joseph? Was it an unfeeling and callous response to offer Joseph and Mary the stable?
Naomi, the Shepherdess
It was not common in Biblical times for girls to aspire to become a shepherdess. Naomi loved spending time with her father caring for the sheep. Although very young, she had a talent for working with the sheep and lambs. She was able to teach them to listen and obey commands, which could one day save their lives. Her one dream was that one day she would be a successful shepherdess.
