'''[[PROLOGUE]]''' ''(The Teacher; the Children)'' '''The Teacher:''' Please, sit my dears, compose yourselves, and then we will begin. Summer [Christmas] is a time of joy and beauty, let us play!

To follow Christ, deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Him, Our Savior has commanded. We pass through the lands which are not our own; we cross the distant rivers whose names we do not know. To follow Christ, deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Him, Our Savior has commanded. Beyond the horizon our Heavenly Home is calling us,
