5. TRUE HEROES
Caleb and Aaron are trying to escape Alexandria. Meanwhile, after
intelligence reports of refugee rebels entering the city by sea, Tiberius
orders the famous lighthouse extinguished, threatening the lives of
many innocent fishermen too.
Macky is inspired by the story of Gideon not to feel defeated by the
might of the Romans. Portia, Diana and the girls make a desperate,
dizzying descent from the top of the lighthouse as they take a stand
against Aaron. Together they must find a way to re-illuminate the
dangerous shore. Samuel’s telling of the well-known Christmas Story
- where the Good News was first told to lowly shepherds - turns
Caleb and Aaron from criminals into heroes.
6. SWEET FREEDOM
Macky and the gang want to rescue some slaves who are
forced to work, shackled, in the Roman granary, but
their friends and neighbours are worried about the
repercussions. Sollie’s mother, Miriam, challenges
them by telling the story of Moses beating the
Egyptian slave master, and Macky soon finds he
has enough support to help the slaves.
Once rescued, the slaves must be hidden from
the Romans, and Marx Brothers-style havoc
ensues as Diana - theatrical wardrobe mistress
- hides them right under the Romans’ noses at
the theatre.The story of howPaul was changed
on the Damascus Road gives Macky hope that
even the Romans might one day change - and
slavery will disappear.
