A Short Christmas Story: The Compassionate Painting of Jesus

As Christmas approaches, the Priest browses through the paintings collected by his predecessors.

He comes across an old painting of Jesus. He is overwhelmed by the compassionate expression of Jesus.

On the first day of Christmas, he auctions off the painting and donates the money (a million dollars) to charities.

The new owner, Jack, is similarly overwhelmed by the painting of Jesus.

On the second day of Christmas, Jack auctions off the painting and donates the money (two million dollars) to charities.

The third owner, Tom, is powerfully overwhelmed by the painting of Jesus.

On the third day of Christmas, Tom auctions off the painting and donates the money (four million dollars) to charities.

This repeats day after day for twelve days of Christmas, with the money doubling each day.

At the end of twelve days, billions of dollars reach charities around the world, all because of one powerful painting.
