Five Christmas Maidens
About the Study:
There are 40 men listed in Jesus’ genealogy and only 5 women. But the fact there are 5 women listed in a genealogy written in a male dominated society is huge! Why did the men who kept track of all this stuff care about these 5 women—the 5 Christmas maidens? Are they super-holy women who really deserved recognition? They are special, but maybe not in the way you think. Their stories may challenge your preconceived notions of holiness. Come learn about the 5 Christmas Maidens.
