A Journey Through Time: The Magnificent BNHS Christmas Tableau
by Aden Joy Calanao
Our recent Christmas celebration at Badiang
National High School made the campus feel truly magical. The program began with
a doxology followed by the triple hymns, as the students’ voices filled the air
with peace and reverence. As the final notes faded, the atmosphere shifted into
a grand storytelling experience. This marked the beginning of a spectacular Tableau that took the audience on a journey
through the history of humanity.
The production
opened with the magnificent wonder of the Creation of Heaven and Earth,
instantly bringing the stage to life. God was shown creating Adam from dust,
giving life to the world. Soon after, Eve was created to be his companion in
the beautiful Garden of Eden, completing the first human family. However, the
scene dramatically changed when Satan persuaded Eve to eat the fruit from the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This act led to a dark presentation
filled with suffering, revealing how sin, selfishness, and sorrow first entered
the world. For a moment, the scene felt utterly hopeless.
The darkness faded
as the tableau shifted to the town of Nazareth. A young woman named Mary
received a visit from an angel sent from heaven. The angel comforted her and
delivered a message of hope, announcing that she had been chosen to be the
mother of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Joseph was also visited by an angel who
reassured him and instructed him to protect the child who would save the world.
With this message, the play’s tone shifted from sorrow to anticipation and
faith.
The audience then
witnessed Mary and Joseph’s long and difficult journey to Bethlehem. As the
birth of Jesus Christ drew near, the tableau showed them searching desperately
for a place to stay. They were turned away from every door until they finally
found refuge in a humble, modest stable. It was there that Jesus was born and
the miracle took place. The scene concluded with the arrival of the Three
Kings, dressed in royal attire, who bowed before the newborn King and offered
their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
The brilliant
creative force behind this entire production was our MAPEH instructor, Sir
Edwin Jandayan. Through his vision, the play came to life with dynamic dance
performances and live singing by the students of Badiang National High School.
His dedication and effort made the ancient stories feel vivid, meaningful, and
deeply moving. The joyful finale brought the entire cast together on stage to
perform a lively rendition of “We Wish You a
Merry Christmas.” It was the perfect ending—celebrating hope, unity, and
faith. This production was truly a masterpiece that showcased the extraordinary
talent of the BNHS family.
