Marias barn ("Maria's Child") was the Sveriges Television's Christmas calendar in 1987. It was an animated series based on the New Testament stories of Virgin Mary's son, Jesus.
The stories are based on Danish writer Cecil Bødker's two novels, who in turn are based on the New Testament and other older stories about Jesus, as Cecil Bødker tried to reflect life in Ancient Egypt and Palestine upon the time Jesus was born. It follows the story all the way from the birth of Jesus to his crucifixion.
