Dark times befall Ben and family when Nero tightens his brutal grip on the city. A daring escape leads them to shelter in the catacombs, where Ben recounts the story of the last days of Christ on earth, giving everyone strength and hope. From Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, to his crucifixion, to the open tomb, the Easter story comes alive through Ben's vivid storytelling. The Easter Storykeepers will captivate children while it teaches them about faith, family values, and the wonderful significance of Easter.

(Animated) The year is A.D. 64...and in Rome, the church faces fierce persecution. Driven into hiding, Christians gather wherever it's safe. At secret meetings, they learn about Jesus of Nazareth. And their faith prospers, thanks to courageous leaders - like Ben the baker who, with his wife Helena, and their family of young orphans, keeps the stories of Jesus alive. This great series, offered by Focus on the Family, gives children a visual observation into the world of the early church and what it was like during those days of persecution.
