Students organise live crib for charity on Clare farm
A farm in the west of the country is taking on a yuletide twist this Christmas by playing host to a “live crib”, played by enterprising secondary school students in a festive fundraiser.
Organised by the transition year class from St. Michael’s Community College Kilmihil, the crib has been dubbed “An Beithilín Beo”, and has been established on a working farm in Kilmihil.
A number of farm animals have been drafted in as “star” attractions, with a sheep, a cow, two donkeys and a pony in the crib along with the students who are playing the part of Mary, Joseph and the three wise men.
