American Rapper, Kanye West, performed the story of the birth of Jesus Christ last night covered in silver painting.

Kanye premiered his new opera, dubbed “Mary” in Art Basel, Miami, a production he dedicated in honour of Jesus’s virgin mother.

According to TMZ, Kanye and others involved in the opera were completely covered in silver, from their head to their toes.

The play portrayed the Nativity story in which Mary miraculously became pregnant and gave birth to Jesus in Bethlehem, welcoming royal visitors from distant lands for the occasion.

As for what the silver outfits might mean, it’s anyone’s guess. As far as we know, Kanye and his crew may be playing angels or maybe Christmas stars guiding the way? Only time will tell.
