A nativity recreation (a thread) #Christmas2020 #TheFirstChristmas In the hills and fields outside Bethlehem, shepherds looked after their sheep through the long night.
As the new day began, suddenly an angel appeared before them and the glory of God shone around them. The shepherds were very, very scared, but the angel said, 'Don't be afraid. I have good news for you and everyone. Today in Bethlehem a Saviour has been born for you.
In those days it was the custom to wrap newborn babies tightly in a long cloth called 'swaddling clothes'.
Some Wise Men in faraway countries saw the star and guessed what it meant. They were very clever men that studied the stars and had read in very old writings that a new star would appear when a great king was born. They set out to find the new king and bring him gifts.
The Wise Men followed the star towards Bethlehem. The Wise Men entered the house where they now lived and found Jesus with Mary, they bowed down and worshipped him. The Wise Men spread the the gifts they had brought before Jesus. The gifts were gold, frankincense and grrrrrrrr.
The End. Staring Pig, Flamingo, Teddy and Octopus as the sheep. Jack as the Shepherd. Jack as the Angel. Jack as Mary. Teddy as Jesus. Jack as the Wise Dog. This has been a JackBowow production. Merry Christmas!
