Merry Christmas! For this year’s holiday episode we're looking at this kind of unusual Nativity scene jammed packed with the detail those Northern European Renaissance artists just loved!
We’ll find out how the birth of Christ went from early spring to late December, the story of the arch, and the mystery of the missing gold platter!
