The Importance Of Christmas Play Scripts In Our Modern Lives

By Dianne Crane


Christians of every time and place have been inspired by the stories from the past. One of the all time favorites are the Christmas play scripts of the birth of Jesus Christ and the wonder that spread throughout the land when the shepherds saw the little child. One knows how the Wise Men travelled from faraway lands to bless the child on Christmas day.

There are many stories which involve lots of interesting characters and tell of wondrous deeds. Some of these deal with the chase where Herod wants to kill the Baby Jesus as soon as He comes to know about the news of His birth. Some of them tell us different versions of the story and yet others tell us how Rudolph the red nosed Reindeer got involved.

Many of these stories bring their own share of wonder and magic. Add Santa Claus and one gets new and varied dimensions, some of which are really fantastic. Of course, Santa and his sleigh bells will be a part of every Christmas tale that is told. He is the inspiration for the children and the way he brings them toys is second only to the story of the stork bringing babies.

The scripts written for this season will highlight the events that led to the birth of Christ. It is also for those people who were involved in the event. The father Joseph and the mother Mary are the principal characters of course. The others are the shepherds who wait on to see the Baby Jesus and the Wise Men who bring gifts for Him.

Herod and his soldiers chase Joseph with the intention of killing him. This script is played by the bigger children. It is to understand how greed can destroy if one is not careful. The Wise Men who warn Joseph about the plan Herod has to kill and this is enough for Joseph to escape. This script is an action script and maost if not all the seniors will find it amusing.

Scripts are written for the sake of the children. They help to make the children understand what their religion is all about. It helps them appreciate the Glory of Christ. It brings out the advantages of being a Christian, one who is ready to share and care for his neighbors. All the dramas show how one could be a better Christian in his or her life.

By involving children in the dramas one helps them to find their own way in the world. It helps them realize the moral orientation that is necessary if they are to be true Christians. The interactions with their friends and watchers-on help them to understand what they are doing in their lives. Brotherhood and spirit of sharing helps foster love.

There are many things that are the source of inspiration to people in daily life. The Christmas play scripts are perhaps the most common and easily the best understood of them all. Maybe it is because the events happened a long time ago that people find them so captivating. The underlying theme of loving and sharing is the message of Christmas. It helps man establish his presence once more as a social being.
