The Nativity Plays
Did you know that during the middle ages people had all but lost interest in celebrating the Christmas holiday?

The people in the audience could get involved and sing along, as singers acted out the story in each song.Why Christmas?: The History of Christmas CarolsAdapting a Story Into a Play
