O knihe

Excerpt from The Christmas Story: A Play in Four Scenes

With due regard to costuming, remember that the Jewish interpretation Of the Second Command ment allowed only circles, squares, or dots as orna ments or patterns in their clothing, but that beautiful colors, such as scarlet, blue, and purple, were used. There was the tunic, and over that a sort of coat, and then the turban or covering on the head to pro tect them from the sun. Sandals were worn on the feet. (good ideas can be obtained from the famous Tissot pictures.) The shepherds wore garments of skins, while Herod wore royal robes, and his cour tiers, the Roman toga.

On the other hand, the simplest presentation Of the Christmas (the Mass of the Anointed One) would be wonderful, for it is a spiritual drama. Its theme is the redemption Of the world through love by the means of the most helpless, and yet the most powerful thing in the world, a little child. Its stage is the human heart.

A platform, an armchair for Herod's throne, an improvised manger or cradle, and the real desire Of a community, children and adults, to perform the Christmas Story in all sincerity - these are necessary.
