We began our day by going to the Miracle Theater to secure our tickets for the shows we want to take in while we are here.

We purchased tickets for 3 different shows.  Our first being for The Miracle tonight, beginning at 7:15pm.  We are going to do a backstage tour before the shows starts at 8pm.

It was noon by the time we had things set up, so we went back to the 5th wheel for lunch.

Gay got onto the internet and worked out our reservations that will take us through Oct. 18th.

The time got away from us, so we didn’t get anymore riding in today.

Gay grilled out for supper and he had some visitors begging for a handout.  The ducks were lucky; we gave them some bread crumbs.

By 7pm we made our way over to the theater.  There were 8 of us there for the backstage tour.  It was so interesting.  We were taken on stage and told about the lighting and told how the angels were made to fly through the air.  We went backstage and were shown the props that were used.  Our next stop was the make-up and costume rooms.  We witnessed the actor that would be playing Jesus getting his hair done and make-up on.

We were standing in the long hallway where all the angel wings hung.  Lucifer’s wings were the biggest and heaviest.  They weighed 45 lbs and cost $25,000.  One of the angels, which spent most of the show in the air, had wings that weighed 35lbs and cost $10,000. 

We were taken outside to the barn where they kept the animals that were used on the show—3 camels, 3 sheep, a donkey & a boa constrictor.

We were back to our seats about 5 minutes before Showtime.

The show began with Lucifer flying over the top of the audience and landing on the stage where the fierce battle began that was the beginning of Lucifer’s fall from grace.

You witness the birth of the Savior and the wise men riding onto stage on camels, where they bow & worship the infant King.

We watched as Christ performs, miracles, and we experience the wind & rain before Jesus calms the sea.

We watched as Jesus was captured, convicted, and beaten before he was hung on the cross and then resurrected. 

It was a spiritually moving performance. The costumes & sets were fabulous.  Time seemed to fly by as you watched this show.

We did purchase the DVD of the show and will be happy to lend it out to whoever wants to watch it.

It was after 11pm when we got home.  This is just the beginning of the plans we have while we are here.
