What’s the most unusual telling of the Christmas story you’ve heard?

In their article The Beatbox Bible: Rapping vicar rhymes the story of Nativity and becomes internet hit, Britain’s Daily Mail is reporting that a beatboxing vicar has retold the Christmas story in a rather unusual way.

Reverend Gavin Tyte (aka TyTe) was a professional beatboxer before dramatically changing careers and his Nativity video has had more than 15,000 views on YouTube in three weeks.

The 40-year-old vicar of Uplyme Church, in east Devon, raps: ‘Welcome to Beatbox Bible’, before continuing his sermon online to parishioners.

Enjoy watching the vicar’s efforts in the video above.
