EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to December 1947, where the Stanstead Nativity Play was being performed by a group of talented primary school children. The scene is set inside the magnificent Forestside Church, with its grand architecture and stunning stained glass windows providing a breathtaking backdrop. In the center of the tableau stands a young girl dressed as an angel, her delicate wings spread wide as she radiates innocence and purity. Surrounding her are three wise men adorned in vibrant costumes, each carrying precious gifts for baby Jesus. Their expressions reflect both reverence and awe. The choir stalls are filled with equally enthusiastic children who form part of this magical production. Their faces beam with excitement as they bring their characters to life through song and performance. It's evident that every child has put their heart into making this play truly special. The photographer has skillfully captured not only the essence of this nativity play but also the spirit of unity among these young performers. This image serves as a reminder of how important community traditions were during that era. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating the joyous occasion that unfolded over seven decades ago at Forestside Church.
