The Wise Men Return Home: a Christmas Monologue

WHAT:

THEME:
Encountering Jesus always changes our direction.
WHO:

HOW:
A reflective monologue with soft instrumental music playing under the narration. Performer stands against a simple desert-themed backdrop and moves slowly, as if walking through memories of the journey home.

Small box or symbolic gift container

Cloak or fabric sash

Sand-colored floor cloth (optional)

TIME:
