Episode 6: ‘Do not be afraid…’

In which our heroes celebrate Christmas. Why is it good news? It’s a special Christmas episode, enlivened by the fact that Joe and and Nick are actually in the same room for once. We look at how the Bible really depicts Christmas, why it really is a cause for celebration, and the hope of its key message: ‘Do not be afraid’. Plus a look at some stupid Christmas carol lyrics, whether you can get epiphed at epiphany, we have actual poetry and Joe makes heroic attempts to pronounce Lamb shawarma.

• Love Came Down at Christmas is, of course, a poem by Christina Rosetti. This version was created for this video from Open Doors. Please have a look.
• Also, Yotam Ottolenghi’s recipe for Roast Potatoes with Prunes and Caramel is fantastic. Try it.
