Light & Sound Drama on "The Prophets"

We, the MSJ community and the novices, were glad to witness a  sound and light drama  on the life of 'TheProphets' in Kannada staged at Mount Carmel Church, Mariapura(Thattaguppe) last weekend. This dance cum drama programme was performed continuously for seven hours and featured 350 actors alongside 550 young dancers. It was a thrilling and inspiring experience to watch  young  children confidently performing on stage. This show covered eight books of the Old Testament. Featuring right from the freedom of the Israelites and their march towards the Promised Land, the drama  went on to highlight significant moments in the lives of the prophets like Moses, Samuel, Saul, David, Elijah, Elisha, Jonah and Danial.  As a result, all of us were able to refresh our knowledge centered around these great prophets who worked for our salvation. The programme concluded with the Holy Eucharist on Sunday morning. With a capacity for around 30,000 people to spread their mats in the open and enjoy the show comfortably, this programme was well organized, inspiring and entertaining.
