Happy Advent! It’s
summer here in South Africa, and it’s been nice to spend the month of December walking around in shorts and a t-shirt. We’re
officially on our “Summer Break”, but before we broke for the
holiday, the students at the Holy Cross School put on the first ever Holy Cross
Nativity Play for their families and friends at the monastery. The kids got decked out in all sorts
of shepherd, angel, wise men, and animal costumes. It was pretty awesome!

The students worked
hard practicing the songs and speaking parts in the weeks prior to the
performance, and when the big day came, they nailed it. It was a treat to watch them perform.
