WHAT
A warm, humorous, and thoughtful 10-minute Christmas skit following the wise men on their journey to find the newborn King. As they travel across deserts, question directions, misunderstand star patterns, encounter King Herod, and meet travelers from different places, the wise men grow more determined to find Jesus Christ. The skit blends biblical truth with light comedy and ends in joyful worship at the manger.
