Blog 69. Rehearsals for Lumen Mundi’s Christmas-play.

For the second year we wanted to start the Christmas holiday with a Christmas play. Parents, people from the Naasa Community, our board and other guest are invited. But of course, that means that we have to rehearse.

We have 18 children in school now, so we also need 18 roles to play. We have children that cannot walk or talk, so we need staff to do that for them. And, we don’t want the children to have the same role as last year. This year we had Joseph, Mary, 3 angels. 3 kings, 3 shepherds, 4 inn-keepers, King Herod with 2 guards/servants.

For the new children it was very strange to play a role in the Christmas-play. We rehearsed the songs in class with an extra one: ‘Oh come all you faithful’. Outside we rehearsed the play, uncountable times. For 2 weeks. The result was great!

And, extra this year: the Ladies of the Silk thread offered us a Christmas diner! It was a very nice meal, and we all enjoyed a good ending of the year 2024!!
