Unsaid Words From a Theatrical State Visit Parody

The piece narrates Jesus ministry and crucifixion, then Mary Magdalene discovering the risen Christ at the tomb, declaring the first witness to the resurrection. It frames the event as the great Christmas miracle, life overcoming death. Next the Miracle by the Sea of Galilee.
