It’s been many years since St. Paul’s had a Christmas pageant. This year, one of the parishioners, Nina Shoroplova is directing “A Multitude of the Heavenly Host,” a pageant she wrote for St. George’s Anglican Church in Cadboro Bay, Victoria, in 1985. The story looks at the influence in our lives of the four best-known archangels: Archangel Michael, Archangel Gabriel, Archangel Raphael, and Archangel Uriel. And the focus of these Archangels’ influence is on the way we look at the birth of Jesus, the babe who was born in humble surroundings, who came to forgive us our sins and have us recognize our own divinity through him.
