Virtual Christmas Play 🌲⭐️🎶

22nd Dec 2021

We hope you enjoy this year’s Christmas Play - ‘Children of the World’. 

‘Children of the World’ is a charming Christmas musical about different festive customs around the world.

In the story, Gabriel and the Angels celebrate the birth of Jesus by bringing children from around the world to the manger, to tell of their Christmas customs and to offer gifts to the baby Jesus. The Angels are gathered on Christmas Eve. Each has a lucky number on a ticket. Six numbers are chosen from a lucky dip, drawn by Gabriel. The Angels with matching numbers are to become messengers and their job is to bring children from countries around the world to visit baby Jesus in the stable. The selected messengers receive gold envelopes from Gabriel which contain the name of the country each is to visit. As each group of children is brought to the stable, they tell of their special Christmas customs, present a song which reflects their particular country and make an offering at the manger. 

Congratulations to our fabulous children from around the world!
