"It's 'CSI Bethlehem' in this holiday mystery extravaganza as Sister takes on the mystery that has intrigued historians throughout the ages – whatever happened to the Magi's gold? Retelling the story of the nativity, as only Sister can, she poses the burning question, 'We know what happened to the myrrh and the frankincense – Mary used them as a sort of potpourri. They were in a barn after all. But who was the culprit who made off with the gold coins and left Mary, Joseph and the infant Jesus in that lousy stable without any chance to upgrade to a suite?' Employing her own scientific tools, assisted by a local choir as well as audience members, Sister creates a living nativity unlike any seen before," press notes read.
