The animation was lovely, and the symbolism was great. The voice acting was slightly awkward, but I could tell it was due to lack of experience. (Keep at it!)
My only critique is the religious aspect of things -- To be honest, I had no idea you were trying to allude to Jesus Christ, and I preferred it that way. I feel the message comes along quite nicely, without having to bring in faith. By all means you're entitled to your religious beliefs, and I feel you did an amazing job bringing in that metaphor, I just would have rather not known that's what you were going for. I'm not even taking a star away for it.
