The Wise Man’s Journal: a Christmas Monologue

WHAT:
A wise man opens his travel journal beneath the great star and recounts his long journey to find the newborn King. He reflects on the scriptures he studied, the tension-filled encounter with King Herod, and the overwhelming joy he felt when he finally knelt before Jesus.
THEME:
True wisdom leads us to worship.
WHO:
The Wise Man (solo performer)

HOW:
Performed as a reflective monologue. The wise man reads from a scroll, walks slowly beneath a bright “star” light, and kneels reverently at the end. Tone mixes awe, maturity, and deep emotion. The atmosphere should feel ancient, thoughtful, and worshipful.
PROPS:
Scroll or rolled parchment

Small chest or gift box (representing gold, frankincense, or myrrh)

Robe or wise-man-style costume

Bright overhead “star” light

Lantern (optional)

TIME:
3 minutes
