church pageant
Congregation's holiday show
A church pageant is a dramatic presentation staged by a congregation, typically depicting biblical stories or religious themes.
Christmas pageants reenacting the nativity are the most common, often featuring children as shepherds, angels, and wise men: My daughter played Mary in the church pageant this year.
Easter pageants dramatizing the crucifixion and resurrection are also traditional.
