Lions do not eat vegetarians: a musical for children (Germany)

The story which the 60 girls and boys told plays in ancient Babylon. The Bible reports about lions and a fiery furnace in the kingdom ruled by King Nebuchadnezzar some 2,500 years ago. These were methods used by the king to threaten those who did not worship him but who worshipped God. In the end they were not harmed.

The girls and boys aged 6 to 15 staged the musical in Brackenheim (Germany) twice and showed how those who believed in God proved their trust in Him in spite of the hopeless situation. The audience was delighted and rewarded the children with rapturous applause; they had rehearsed for 18 months.
