With the beautiful, icon-like illustrations of Olga Podivilova, an accomplished children’s illustrator, even the smallest children will be drawn into the book and have their attention captured while you open to them the riches of the Gospels.
From the series “Scriptures and Feasts for Children.” This book about the feast of the Nativity of Christ is designed for parents to read to their children aged 2-8, although smaller children will still enjoy the illustrations.

In addition to the text, the book also has beautiful illustrations by Olga Podivilova on almost every page to help even the youngest children absorb as much of the story as possible.

The Lord said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them (Matt. 19:14).” But for many parents, it is difficult to find the words to tell small children about God, to warm the spark of faith given to them in Holy Baptism into a flame.
May the Lord grant that this prayer book will help to bring you and your little ones closer to Him in all things.

A Note on Shipping
All of our books will be available on Amazon.com with Amazon’s standard shipping options. They can also be ordered through our website. Unfortunately, when ordering through our website, the shipping might make the books take a little longer (a week or two) to arrive so if you’d like your book in a few days, Amazon is the best bet. However, Amazon does take a sizable percentage of the price and we are a small business, run by a mission priest to help support his family. And so if you’re able to wait a week or two, we appreciate every order coming through the website and apologize that it won’t be quite as convenient. Also, we may occasionally be able to have sales on our books on the website. If you are a Church bookstore and would like to order multiple copies with a wholesale discount, we can best accommodate you through the website. Please email editor at exaltationpress dot com.
