This year our older kids shared a collection of stories about St. Nicholas and sailors.
Recognize that ship? I scaled it down a bit for the performance, and am grateful to finally get it out of my garage! Don't tell me I don't recycle :)
Our sailors welcome St. Nicholas aboard, but are faced with a devastating storm, and begin to take on water....
The sailors attempt to bail water from their sinking ship, a fun suprise for the kids in the front! Thankfully, they were saved by the prayers of Nicholas, and arrived safely in the Holy Land. Later, Nicholas becomes bishop......
Nicholas the bishop and the hungry peasants in need of food.
A peasant is overjoyed by the arrival of a ship bearing grain after St. Nicholas appears to the captain of ship and directs him to turn course and save the people.
This years script was created from stories taken out of The Real St. Nicholas as well another Orthodox book about St. Nicholas.
Very nice! St. Nicholas is such a special Saint...
