Christmas Eve

Evening service included Blessing of the Creche, lessons and carols, pageant, Eucharist, the evening starts with a huge fire outside and the society of the Good Shepherd dancing around it singing, Meaning so I was told, the fire is to replicate the fire to keep the shepherds warm and that is why the Society of the Good Shepherd sing and dance, several dancers have a wooden shepherd's crook

Sheep in front of Mary and Joseph from the pageant, 

more pageant pics tomorrow as it is 1230am and service is at 9am, my bed is calling...
