Nativity plays are a special way to proclaim the Christmas gospel. Each play emphasizes different aspects and sheds a unique light on the child in the manger. The shining eyes of both young and older participants and spectators show that the Christian Christmas message of God's incarnation and love for humanity is being understood anew. A selection of the most beautiful nativity plays is gathered in this book. Many practical tips facilitate implementation: information on age, number of participants, required props, and suggestions for stage design. It includes song suggestions, sheet music for lesser-known songs, and a CD-ROM.
