"I came by invitation of a friend and watched. I think remembering the birth of Jesus everyday is true Christmas. Anna's story in act 2 seems like a reinterpretation of Luke 15. As the prodigal son returned and begged forgiveness to his father, Anna comes back and apologizes to her family and reconciles, doens't she? I often forget that I have to get strength from God and fall into disappointment. The Cantata seems to be a good way to rejoice in the birth of Christ."
"I have been looking forward to this year because I had watched the Cantata last year, but there are more people than I expected. I wanted to at least let the children see the show. It's a free show, but I hope you'll have a little more space next year. "
The joy of the birth of Jesus of 2,000 years ago was conveyed to the high-tech industry center of San Jose.
