**NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - A talking Jesus doll is due in stores in May, **
**along with versions of Moses and the Virgin Mary, according to a **
**published report Tuesday. **
**The New York Post reports that the foot-tall dolls can recite up to **
**33 Biblical verses at the push of button in the doll’s back. The **
**three dolls are the first of a series of dolls based on bible **
**characters, according to the paper. Dolls of Esther, Ruth and David **
**are also planned, the paper reports. **
**The company that is producing the dolls is Messengers of Faith, **
**which is a unit of privately held Beverly Hills Teddy Bear Co. **
**Joshua Livingston, a partner in Messengers of Faith, told the paper **
**the company hopes to unveil dolls representing up to five Bible **
**characters each year. **

**everyone,” Livingston told the paper. **
**The religious dolls will cost $24.99, according to the Messengers of **
**Faith Web site. They will have period clothing, such as Jesus **
**sandals and veils for the Virgin Mary, as well as movable limbs and **
