Many youngsters will be going through their first such plays in the coming weeks, and today we have looked through our archives to find 21 beautiful pictures of some great nativity plays which have been performed by schools and nurseries across the city over the years.
Many of the angelic faces pictured here will be grown up now – but there are Christmas memories galore in here.
Schools – if you have pictures of your nativity plays you would like us to feature in a gallery, email us.
