For many, the Christmas holidays usually begin with a nativity performed in front of proud, if slightly nervous parents, followed by a jolly, if slightly out of tune version of Silent Night. This year, many of our favourite traditions have been cancelled. But a lot of schools have refused to let the pandemic ruin the festive spirit.
In Grasmere, Cumbria, one school moved the action off stage and on screen - filming an alternative nativity showing the story of Mary and Joseph set in the coronavirus pandemic. Created over seven days, 70 children and some members of the local community took part in the 20-minute film in the hope of bringing some Christmas cheer.
