Summary

Earth Peace: A Simple Nativity is a gentle, heartfelt retelling of Luke 2. As the narrator reads the Scripture, children quietly enter the stage, taking their places to slowly form the full nativity scene. Shepherds wander in with lanterns, angels appear with soft wings, and wise men approach reverently.

The skit blends simple narration, small lines spoken by children, and soft humor to help young performers understand the meaning of Jesus’ birth. It concludes with the message of peace Jesus brings to the world and a soft refrain of “Silent Night.”
