Herod and the Wise Men

To finish off our Epiphany week, children acted out the story of Herod sending the wise men to find the new King so he would know where he should go to worship him too. Of course we know that Herod was not being truthful, so the rest of the school really enjoyed booing Herod. As the journey from the East was so long, Jesus was actually becoming a toddler and living in a house by the time the wise men arrived with their gifts. Shortly after the visit, the wise men had a dream during the night, in the dream they were told not to go back to Herod and share their news as he wished Jesus harm.
