In 1985, comedian and musician Mark Lowry wrote the lyrics for the song "Mary Did You Know." It would quickly become a success and one of the most modern popular Christmas songs. The song describes some of the wonders and miracles Jesus would perform. It also alludes to pain that Mary would some day feel and what she would witness.

The significance of the birth of Jesus is married to the life he lived and his death and resurrection. Each year we are given the opportunity to be reminded of the true gravity of God's love and what he was willing to give so that we would know life and life fulfilled.
