Pantomime 2005

Arrival of the Magi

Since our Christmas Pageant tends to follow Scripture pretty closely, it ends after the arrival of the shepherds, and before the arrival of the "Three Kings" -- the Magi from the East described by Matthew in Matthew 2: 1-12.

This year we concluded that if a lot of Pageant was good, then just a little bit more Pageant would be even better.  And, so did our young people!! We thought that the Sunday after Christmas would be a great time for it.  Here are some pictures from our one and only rehearsal, the preceding Saturday.  (Click on any of the pictures to see a larger image).

We are fortunate in having a great costume wardrobe to draw on.  But this player decided the fur just "wasn't her"

Well, tomorrow is the pantomime!  Let's see how it goes!  Hopefully we'll have more pictures of the real thing.

As seems to be the fashion this winter, we had both snow and some transitory illnesses to cope with.  But, the show must go on -- even with a slightly smaller cast than planned! 

Here are some pictures from the performance, presented during the Service of Lessons and Carols on January 1, 2006.
