Real baby stars in school nativity after Jesus doll is lost
6-month-old baby steps in to save the day and plays Jesus beautifully
Children waving at parents in the crowd, a few forgotten lines and missed cues are all part of the fun of school nativity plays. But what happens if a teacher loses the Jesus doll?!
Well luckily for the teacher at Wellow House Preparatory School, there just so happened to be a perfect stand-in for baby Jesus in the audience. A 6-month-old baby, Josh, stepped into the doll's shoes and was lain in Jesus's manger to play the role of a lifetime.
His siblings were among the cast of 3 to 7 year olds in the nativity play. Josh might have been quite a bit bigger than a real newborn – but the audience were still pretty impressed!
"He was very well-behaved, he was so good and even turned for the camera on cue! He was very peaceful and just laid in the manger," said Joanna Crook, head at the school.
