WHAT

A simple, reverent nativity reenactment designed for church services, children’s church, or Christmas Eve programs. A narrator tells the biblical story while actors move silently through each scene. The script blends Scripture-inspired narration, soft carols, and meaningful symbolism.

The birth of Jesus is God’s greatest gift—simple, humble, and offered to all.
