The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints staged a pageant December 8, 2018 to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. It is a good opportunity for Issac that this year Puchong Branch has the assignment of acting as the shepherds in the pageant. He is one of them.
We arrived there early as Issac need to change into his shepherd costume and rehearsal. The presentation began with several musical numbers. Visitors then were divided into smaller groups of about 20.
Guides holding a lantern accompanied the groups to different rooms focusing on different events surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ.
The first room portrayed a scholar explaining that the children of Israel had waited and looked forward for thousands of years for the Savior to come.
Then, the group transitioned to the angel’s room. The angels explain that they were commissioned by God to visit the earth and announce the glad tidings of the birth of Christ.
The group moved to a room with shepherds keeping watch over their sheep at night. They described a visitation by an angel and bore testimony of the infant Savior that they went to see.
At the subsequent stop, the wise men describe the new star and their visit to Herod seeking the Christ.
After departing them, we come to Herod’s court, where we see an arrogant, worldly ruler who threatens to kill the Child.
Finally, we go to the humble stable where the Infant lies asleep in the hay watched over by Mary and Joseph.
There was a marketplace at the conclusion wherein participants received different breads, figs, dates and nuts reminiscent of that time. This contributed to feelings surrounding the event.
Here are the members whom participate and make this event a successful one! Issac is one of the youngest! We are so proud of him that he is able to share the gospel of Jesus Christ in this tiny little way!
