This collection of mystery plays were seen largely by audiences of illiterate people (Felicity), and, as such, were meant to teach these people moralistic lessons about religion. The play brilliantly fuses comedy with religious themes to make an entertaining delivery of a didactic message. This play is about three shepherds who are struggling due to their place in society, but religion ultimately redeems them. This series of plays were performed by guilds on their wagons or on large platforms, where they’d go town to town performing the play to eager audiences (Felicity). “Mystery plays,” which were very popular during the 14th and 15th centuries, depicted stories based around the Bible. The Second Shepherds’ Play is a celebrated medieval mystery play as a part of the Wakefield mystery play cycle. ![]() I will run this GIVEAWAY alongside the other, so the same directions apply- just leave a comment before next Wednesday on this post, and specify that you want the teen devotional.“Adoration of the Shepherds” by an unknown artist a part of the Google Art Project. As someone who has lived through my own teen-age years, and as a mother to a young-adult daughter, I feel this book addresses many of the relevant topics important to girls. Melanie's wisdom and practical application of scripture in this devotional is a delightful, easy-to-read, offering of daily encouragement, relatable stories, and insightful reflections that invited me to look at God's Word and apply it to my daily life. Her publisher has offered to send a paperback copy, direct, to one of you. My friend, Melanie Redd has written a 5-Minute daily devotional for teen girls titled, Live in Light. He’s also pose-able, which is nice.Īnd now, a special BONUS giveaway! This one is for those of you who have a special teen-age girl in your life. However, the original doll is adorable and matches the illustrations in the book. I would suggest, either buying the Christmas set, too, so you can have the doll, or just substituting the shepherd doll with another doll of your choice that you can make look like a shepherd. The shepherd doll comes with the Christmas set only. The Lost Sheep set comes with a lovingly illustrated hardback book, the verse/activity cards, the stuffed donkey, and the stuffed sheep. I had a lot of fun setting out a few sample scenes for the pictures in this post! Everything suggested was simple and the props were easy to find around the house. There are daily suggestions for fun activities that enhance your child’s learning experience and a photo sheet to give ideas on how to set out your little scenes and make everything easy. Along the way, your child is searching for the sheep (who doesn’t appear until Easter). The Lost Sheep is similar in the way that it begins with a book and a doll to create excitement, and it continues with a daily verse hunt and a letter to your child from your sheep in the days leading up to Easter. It’s an alternative to “Elf on the Shelf”. You may have already seen the popular original gift set called Shepherd’s Treasure that’s based around the Christmas story. It’s designed to teach children about the true meaning of Easter and how Jesus shows his love for us. I have a great giveaway I’m excited to offer! I recently had the pleasure of receiving a wonderful gift set called The Shepherd’s Treasure: The Lost Sheep. ![]()
