Grammy Winner Francesca Battistelli, Andrea Bocelli Stun in Fabulous Special

In the heart of Tuscany, Italy, international music legend Andrea Bocelli explores the heart of Christmas in a new TBN special, set to air Dec. 20.

“It’s been an absolute joy to welcome TBN viewers into the little church in my beloved birthplace, Lajatico—the exact spot where I discovered, as a child, the power of music as an instrument of prayer,” Bocelli says.

Grammy winner Francesca Battistelli joined Bocelli for the special for “What Child Is This.”

Battistelli told Charisma the behind-the scenes story, as well as her love of all things Christmas, in an episode of “C-Pop,” the Christian pop culture podcast on the Charisma Podcast Network.

Her interview begins at the 26-minute mark. Check it out.
