The Story of Christmas at Marikina


The Marikina City government with the help of the owner of The Manila C.O.D. transformed the Marikina City Hall into a stage-like establishment depicting the story of The First Christmas.

I was able to visit and watch the 30-minute show last December 19 with my family. It was a show of moving human-sized dolls/puppets. It started with the replica of Marikina City Mayor Maridess Fernando asking the children affected by the typhoon on how they will celebrate their Christmas. Upon hearing how sad these kids was about their situation, she then told the story of the First Christmas.



She even ended it saying that people sometimes go through difficult situations, like Joseph and Mary when they travelled to Bethlehem.
