One Wise Sheep is a creative retelling of the Christmas story, from the perspective of one wise sheep! With an undercurrent message to young readers on forgiving quarrels. Tonight, the sheep can’t sleep. The pasture is floodlit by a strange new star, and their shepherds have disappeared to visit a newborn child.
So the sheep set off to find their shepherds and see this child too, the quarrelsome flock pulling together to find their shepherds and the child. The German author wrote this book, after noticing that when the shepherds visit Jesus, no mention is made of the sheep!
While Nativity Plays tell the story of the birth of Jesus, Passion plays tell the story of the Easter resurrection. These are usually performed in the open air, with spectators following the actors. The wonderful French-Canadian film Jesus of Montreal is based on a group of actors performing a Passion Play.
