The Lockdown Nativity

Join friends and family for your very own Mary’s Meals Nativity play this Christmas.

You may not be able to meet with friends and loved ones in person this Christmas. But thanks to authors Frank and Denise Cottrell-Boyce, you can come together for a socially distanced Nativity performance!

The couple have created a unique Do-It-Yourself Nativity pack. It comes with easy to memorize scripts, costume suggestions and tips for filming and editing your very own festive production.

Our Mary’s Meals Nativity pack is perfect for schools, churches, friendship groups and families. It’s a great way to safely bring communities together for a fun activity that celebrates the true meaning of Christmas.

Your cast might be based in different homes, cities, or even countries. Wherever in the world they are, everyone can still take part. With just a smart phone and some free video editing software, you can make a Nativity play to remember!

The finished film should only be a few minutes long, so is ideal for sharing on social media. We can’t wait to see how you get on with your Mary’s Meals Nativity!
