Aprašymas

In this fictional tale, Titus is a young teenager living in Roman-occupied Judea at the time of Jesus Christ, who witnesses the teachings and sacrifice of the Son of God. A moving and eloquent story inspired by the canon of the New Testament, we join our young protagonist - a teenage boy of Greek descent - in the weeks leading up to Christ's arrival in the city of Judea. He leads an active and energetic around a city whose character and atmosphere are evocatively described, but also has a younger crippled brother to care for. Gradually, the importance of Jesus and the lessons he has come to the fore. Initially, his mother is skeptical that a prophet would pay any notice to a community as marginal as the Greek. However, not only is Jesus keen to dispense his wisdom to all people without exception, he is also a man of immense spiritual power, healing the sick and giving sight to the blind between sermons. The significance of Christ's presence however attracts the attention of the Roman garrison.
