Who was This Man? He came down from the stars and nestled Himself inside a young woman in order to come to light.

He had a carpenter as His father and learned the trade with him, though His hands had already shaped celestial substances, forming the very same planet where He came to live.

Accustomed to the harmony of heaven, He let the wind sing melodies in His hair and the sand fustigate His face.

He loved His mother devotedly. As soon as His messianism started, He returned home to see her and escorted her to a wedding that she had been invited for.

He obeyed her and offered the guests a special liquid to awaken to reality.

In agony, He remembered to hand her over to the care of a young idealist, as He was concerned with what might happen to her after His departure.

Who was This Man? He walked through dusty roads, cultivated fields, and the shores of a lake teaching love.

He lived in an era of excesses, corruption of morals, and licentiousness.

However, He remained righteous while being among people of considered misconduct.

He extended His blessings as much to the poor disinherited of any fortune as to the holders of economic power and a certain social supremacy, He offered His light to both.

As a leader of a group that He elected to take care of the precious task of continuing His proposal, He encouraged them to let their inner qualities flow.

You are gods! - He said. And you can do everything I do and more.

He taught that all men are heirs of the infinite and immeasurable Universe. They are all children to the same Father, although living under different roofs in distant lands and speaking in strange tongues.

Who was This Man whom the Spirits obeyed and surrendered? Lord of Spirits - He was called.

Who was This Man who could cease pain, give movements back to paralyzed bodies, sight to the blind and words to the dumb?

Who was This Man that in less than three years revolutionized the world of thought without having written anything? Who gathered around Him, no less than five hundred peasants to give continuity to His legacy?

Who left such profound seeding that even today, after more than two thousand years, has not yet exhausted?

Who was This Man, so great that could not fit in History, dividing it between before and after Him?

They said He was the son of a carpenter named Joseph and a woman named Maria.

He was born in Bethlehem and lived in exile in Egypt. Then He grew up in Nazareth and died on the religious capital of the time, Jerusalem: the land of prophets.

Who was This man?

*   *   *

One day, a ray of light left the vastness of universe and came to live among men.

Brighter than the sun, He hid His brilliance under the costumes of a simple carpenter.

He was light. He came to the shadows and the shadows tried to tarnish His shine.

They destroyed the vase where light nestled. Freed, the light shone even more intensively and still fills the infinite of our needs.

His name is... Jesus.
