Caspar: I had a strange dream last night, and I woke convinced that we should go in a different way. Melchior: Odd that you should say that – I had a dream too! I am convinced that Herod has no desire to worship the child – he sees him as a threat to his throne. (from The Wise Men drama)

Here is a collection of short Advent dramas. The series can be presented with few rehearsals and limited props and costumes. Each drama easily fits within a worship setting. For a longer service, the dramas could be combined and offered as scenes for one complete service.

This series includes:

• Mary and Elizabeth – Advent 1
  
• The villagers of Nazareth – Advent 2
  
• Ziph the Shepherd and his Wife Jerah – Advent 3
  
• Gabriel – Advent 4
  
• The Innkeeper’s Wife – Christmas Eve
  
• The Wise Men – Epiphany
