Traffic in Bethlehem

The quickest time machine to retrieve the past is the imagination. A fictitious radio station, WJER-Jerusalem, provides the vehicle to recapture and view some great Biblical events. Television, newspaper, video tape and audio tape, all being unavailable 2,000 years ago, causes us to use the medium of radio to “record” and re-create some great moments surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ.
