Christmas means something different to everyone: gifts, family, kindness, shared moments. But beyond all of this, lies its true meaning: the birth of the Savior, the one promised since ancient times and announced by the prophets, who came to earth to bring salvation and light to the world. A miracle that, even after thousands of years, still fills our universe with peace, hope and love.
Created with little ones in mind, but also suitable for parents, "The Gift from the Manger" is a puppet show built as an illustrated story full of candor, which follows, preserving the biblical truth, the story of the Nativity, starting from the Annunciation, to the Adoration of the Magi. The show reminds us of the true source of the magic of Christmas and brings the holy story closer to our souls, through the beauty of traditional Romanian carols.
