The King sits on the throne in the palace. The princes are ranked by seniority.
Presenter: Once upon a time there was a king. He was good to everyone: kind and fair, and his faith in God was strong. But he’s just gotten old in years. The time has come for him to think about who to leave the kingdom behind, to whom to hand over the crown. And he had three sons: Danila, Gavrila, and Ivan Tsarevich.
So he began to test them. He sent them to war, and they all returned as winners. Then the King asked them riddles.
King: Tell me, my dear sons, what is this: “There is a bridge for seven miles, behind it an apple tree blossoms, and its color has covered the whole world?”
The servant distributes birch bark letters and feathers to his sons. The sons write silently. A servant presents letters to the king.
Tsar: What daredevils! Everything was written correctly! “Lent and Easter”! Well, go, go!
The princes bow and leave. The servant leaves.
King (thoughtfully): What should I do? How to choose a worthy one?
Presenter: One day the old lady Abbess came to him.
The Mother Superior enters.
Abbess: I know, Tsar-Sovereign, what you are sad about. Listen to my advice. Tell your sons to choose a bride for themselves and marry them. And then you will find out who has which wife.
It’s not for nothing that people say: like the wife, so is the husband.
Tsar: Thank you, Mother Superior: Good advice you gave it to me. I will do so!
The abbess leaves.
Host: No sooner said than done. So the princes bring their young wives to the palace. The elder Gavrila chose a boyar daughter for himself. And rich, and noble, and pretty.
(Gavrila brings out his princess.)
The middle Danila chose a merchant's daughter. Her dowry is such that you can’t count it day and night. And as it goes, it’s like a white swan will swim by.
(Danila brings out his princess.)
Only Ivan Tsarevich’s bride is not noble, not rich, although she is pretty, but painfully modest. She doesn't look like a princess at all.
(Ivan Tsarevich brings out his princess.)
King: Well, my dear brides-in-law, live peacefully. Take care of my sons. And as a gift from me, you will receive a small casket with precious jewelry and semi-precious stones.
The servant distributes chests to the princesses. The older daughters-in-law open the lids and gasp. The youngest bows to the king. Everyone leaves.
Svetlitsa. The eldest daughter-in-law is sitting on a bench, admiring the decorations.
Presenter: The king ordered to find out how his daughters-in-law would use his gifts.
Eldest daughter-in-law. Oh! What pebbles! How many diamonds and emeralds! I will order you to sew yourself a hundred dresses, and decorate them all with precious jewelry.
No one dresses so beautifully, so I should be the queen.
Angel I appears.
Elder daughter-in-law (without looking at Angel, waves her hand at him): Here's another one! If I share with the poor and wretched, what kind of queen will I be?
The angel sighs sadly and leaves. The eldest daughter-in-law leaves. The Middle Daughter-in-law sits in her place. Also admires jewelry.
Middle daughter-in-law: How many jewels are there! That's right, the old king wants to make me a queen! I'll hide it all for the time being.
Angel II appears.
Angel II: Rather than collecting treasures in a chest, it is better to distribute them to the sick and the unfortunate.
Middle daughter-in-law (waves her hand): How can my husband and I sit on the royal throne if we give all our wealth to the sick and the unfortunate?
Angel II sighs and leaves. The middle daughter-in-law leaves. The Younger Daughter-in-law sits in her place with a casket.
Younger daughter-in-law. Why do I need so much goodness? Wear it all your life - not move it, only on shelves, and collect dust in chests. (The Abbess enters.) Hello, Mother Abbess!
It's so good that you came. Here's a little chest for you. This is for the monastery, and decorate the icon of the Mother of God with precious stones.
The abbess takes the casket, bows and leaves. Angel III appears.
Angel III: A good heart knows what to do to please the Lord God and His Most Pure Mother.
Angel III leaves. The daughter-in-law leaves.
Castle. The King sits on the throne.
Presenter: The king found out about all this and was happy for his Younger daughter-in-law. And he ordered everyone to gather in the palace again, because he planned a new test for the young princesses. (All three daughters-in-law enter.) On the road he found a beggar, a cripple, and also a mute. (The Wanderer enters.) And the King speaks.
King: Here is the holy elder. He never stays anywhere for more than three nights. Accept it, my dear brides-in-law, do the honor.
Daughters-in-law: Okay, Father Tsar!
(They bow and leave.)
Host: This is what came out of it.
Everyone is leaving...

Svetlitsa. The eldest daughter-in-law is sitting on the bench. A knock is heard.
Eldest daughter-in-law. Come in, come in, holy elder! (The Wanderer enters.) Isn’t it my husband’s destiny to be a king?
The wanderer shrugs in response and cannot say anything. Angel I appears.
Angel I: Don’t pry, don’t question, but show me mercy - feed me and put me to sleep.
Eldest daughter-in-law. Here's another! If he is not visionary, not a saint, then why do I need one!
He waves his hands and drives out the Wanderer.
Angel I sighs and leaves. The wanderer leaves. The daughter-in-law leaves.
The Middle Daughter-in-law sits in her place. A knock is heard.
Average daughter-in-law. Come in, Holy Wanderer, and tell me, is it my husband’s destiny to be king?
The Stranger enters. In response, he throws up his hands and cannot say anything. Angel II appears:
Angel II: Accept the poor, don’t demand much. Show mercy, serve God!
Average daughter-in-law. Yes, if he doesn’t know anything, let him step into the stable.
He gives me a piece of bread and sends me away.
The wanderer leaves. Angel II sighs and leaves. The middle daughter-in-law leaves. The Younger Daughter-in-law sits in her place. A knock is heard. The Stranger enters.

Angel III appears.
Angel III. A kind soul is happy to have any guest. She will have a worthy reward from the Lord.

All the daughters-in-law enter.

Daughters-in-law (bowing): Okay, Father Tsar!
The daughters-in-law are leaving.
Host: And he again spoke the word to them with cunning. After all, that day was Holy Saturday. The next day, before dawn, his older daughters-in-law rush to him, they really want to become queens.
Gavrila and the eldest daughter-in-law enter.
Eldest daughter-in-law: Here, Father Tsar, an apple pie for you - lush and fragrant.
They bow.
A servant enters, takes the pie on a tray and takes it away. Danila and Middle Daughter-in-law enter.
Middle daughter-in-law: And here’s a cake for you, Father Tsar - all with sugar patterns and decorated with almonds!
They bow.
A servant enters, takes the pie on a tray and takes it away.
King: Why is my youngest daughter-in-law not there? Why isn't he in a hurry?
Ivan Tsarevich and the Younger Daughter-in-law enter.
King: Why did you sleep for so long? The older daughters-in-law brought me gifts early in the morning.
Younger daughter-in-law: Don’t be angry, my King, I was in church all night, I prayed to God for all of us, and I brought you...
Ivan Tsarevich opens the towel, and everyone sees Easter cake and Easter eggs on the tray.

The script for the Easter performance based on the fairy tale by G.Kh. Andersen "Five from One Pod". Materials provided by the Sunday parish school “Golden City” at St. Nicholas Church in the village. Usolye, Samara region.
1 action
Leading, peas.
Music sounds - the theme of peas.
The presenters come out to the music, unrolling the “pod” - green fabric. During the words of the first presenter, 5 funny peas jump out and squat against the background of a green pod. They push, “grow” - stand in full height, but do not protrude from the pod.
1st Presenter:
There were five peas in the pod; they themselves were green, the pod was also green, well, they thought that the whole world was green; it was meant to be! The pod grew, and so did the peas; they adapted to the room and sat all in a row.
2nd Presenter:
The sun illuminated and warmed the pod, the rain watered it, and it became cleaner and more transparent; the peas felt good and cozy, light during the day and dark at night, as it should be.
At this time, the 2nd presenter holds a “sun” over the heads of the peas, then a cloud (made of cardboard, on a handle), as if watering them, while the peas rejoice, jump, wash themselves, and laugh.
They grew and grew and more and more they thought, sitting in the pod, that it was time for them to do something.
The peas depict how they think - everyone stands in different “thinking” poses.
1st pea (with challenge):
How long will it take us to sit here?
2nd pea (with anxiety):
How can we not dry out from sitting like this!..
3rd pea (making a visor out of his palm and looking into the distance here and there):
It seems to me that there is something behind our pod! I have such a feeling!
1st Presenter:
Several weeks passed; the peas turned yellow, the pod also turned yellow.
The presenters turn the “pod”-fabric over with the yellow side.
All the pots in unison (looking around in surprise):
The whole world is turning yellow!
1st Presenter:
Suddenly they felt a strong shock!
The music sounds louder, the peas shout and push, hold on to each other, each shouts its own, and at the same time:
- Oh, mommies!
- Why is this being done?
- Ah ah ah!
- It's an earthquake!
- End of the world!
They lock elbows, roll first in one direction, then in the other, as a result they fall and squeak loudly, like a girl.
4th pea (getting up and putting yourself in order):
Well, now we will soon be released into the wild!
1st pea (admiring herself in the mirror and straightening her outfit after a push, looking defiantly at the others):
I would like to know which of us will go the furthest! However, we'll see soon!
5th pea (modestly):
Come what may!
Music is the theme of the peas.
2nd Presenter:
But then the pod ripened and burst, and all five peas rolled out into the bright sun.
The peas roll along the edges of the stage - spinning and at the same time shouting out their words.
1st pea: I fly, I fly wherever I want! Catch whoever can!
Flies across the entire stage.
2nd pea: And I will fly straight into the sun; this is a real pod! Just right for me!
It flies in the other direction.
3rd, 4th peas: And wherever we come, we’ll sleep there! But we will still get somewhere! We will go the furthest!
They fly off in an embrace.
5th pea: Come what may!
2nd Presenter:
It flew up, landed on the old wooden roof and rolled into the gap just under the window of the attic closet. There was moss and loose earth in the crack; the moss covered the pea; so she remained there, hidden, but not forgotten by the Lord God.
- Come what may!
The 5th pea is hiding behind the window and is not yet visible.
Act 2
Mother, daughter, presenters, angel.
Music sounds - the theme of the mother.
The mother is busy with the housework: rearranging the cast iron, sweeping the floors, checking how her daughter is doing...
1st Presenter:
And in the closet lived a poor woman. She did daily work: she cleaned stoves, sawed wood, in a word, she took on whatever came her way; She had plenty of strength, and she had no desire to work either, but she still couldn’t get out of need! Her only daughter, a teenager, remained at home. She was so thin, frail; whole year She was already lying in bed: she neither lived nor died.
Mother (stands far from the child’s bed and says to the audience):
She will go to her sister! I had two of them. It was hard for me to feed two; Well, the Lord God shared his care with me and took one to himself! I would like to keep the other one, but apparently He doesn’t want to separate the sisters! But come what may!
He approaches his daughter, strokes her head, calms her and himself:
Daughter, Easter is coming, shall we paint eggs with you?
Girl (sitting in the crib, leaning on the pillow, very weak, frail, coloring the Easter egg in the picture):
Yes, mommy, they become so beautiful, they burn like coals! Do you know why eggs should be red at Easter?
Shows her mother the picture she had previously colored - an egg.
Fragment of the performance. Girl coloring an egg
Mother (sitting down on the edge of the crib and stroking the girl’s head):
There is even a legend about this. Do you remember I told you what Easter is?
Girl:
Mommy, tell me! I love it so much when you talk about God!
Mother:
Let me fix your pillow, you close your eyes, and I’ll read, okay?
3 Action
Myrrh-bearers, angel.
The girl falls asleep listening to her mother. For the first quatrain, the mother sits next to her daughter, then, when the words of the myrrh-bearers begin, she covers her daughter and quietly leaves. This is where the action takes place at the Holy Sepulcher.
Mother (reading a book, turning the page):
At dawn we went to the Tomb,
Shaking off the dew from the sleepy grasses,
Carrying from myrrh and aloes
Fragrant composition.
Music begins to sound - sad and solemn - the theme of the myrrh-bearers 1.
The myrrh-bearers solemnly walk from the back of the hall, between the spectators, mournfully carrying vessels, and begin to speak words as they go.
1st Myrrh-Bearer:
We walked without thinking about a miracle,
In a cold, pink ray.
You are myrrh in a clay vessel,
She leaned over and held it on her shoulder.
2nd myrrh-bearer:
And we were so scared to remember
His shame, and death, and pain...
Like sultry wounds washed away
Your hair is the tar of night.
Like nails from His palms
You, quietly crying, pulled out,
Looking at the blood, which, like from grapes,
It flowed in thick drops.
3rd Myrrh-Bearer:
Maria Mother and you - both of you
He was accepted from the soldiers
And they laid him in a new coffin,
Pouring aroma on the body.
Look: Saturday night has passed,
And a new day replaces darkness.
Sister, tell me why you
Are you suddenly speeding up your pace?
The Myrrh-Bearers stop at the Tomb and make their way to it in the thicket of branches.
1st Myrrh-Bearer:
The garden is already close. Here are the lily bowls
Flashed out of the dawn darkness.
Sister, why are our clothes
So unnaturally white?
How the branches hang thick here.
Give me the vessel. We've arrived. It's time.
Here is the cave. Where is he? Empty!
Who took Him? Oh who, sister?
The music sounds louder, you need to show how they recoiled in horror from the entrance to the cave, confusion, fear.
2nd Myrrh-Bearer (rushes between others, looking for an answer):
Who fenced off the entrance to the cave?
What happened in the night?
The empty cover is white, folded,
There are white rays in the cave.
The music is solemn, the theme of the myrrh-bearers 2.
Where is the body? Where are the guards? Where is the fence?
Everything is just white flowers.
I'm running towards you! No, don't.
You fell in love - you will meet!
An angel very solemnly, slowly flapping his wings, appears from the side of the cave; at his appearance, the myrrh-bearing women back away, clearing the way and bowing their heads in bow.
Angel:
Don't look for Jesus, He is risen.
He is in heaven and will come down from heaven again.
The angel flaps his wing towards the myrrh-bearers, passes by them, goes towards the sleeping girl, stops, strokes her head, passes by the window, from where the 5th pea waves to him with a twig, he also flaps his wing towards her, solemnly leaves, having passed like this in a circle way. The myrrh-bearing women also follow him.
The music sounds louder and more solemn.
The myrrh-bearers solemnly retire, leaving the first myrrh-bearer, Mary Magdalene.
Mary Magdalene (walks gradually to the edge of the stage, reads very soulfully):
I was the first to know that Christ
Risen from the dead. Early in the morning
I went to anoint His body with myrrh,
But the stone that blocked the path to the cave
Was rolled away by an unknown hand,
And the tomb was empty, only the shrouds lay -
His funeral clothes,
When I stood in bewilderment,
Suddenly a wonderful light illuminated the entire cave,
An Angel of God appeared before me...
And he proclaimed...
- There is no living thing with the dead,
Don't look for Christ here -
He is risen!
Music, Myrrh-Bearing Theme 2.
Walks across the stage, as if remembering and recalling events.
Then the Teacher stayed with us for forty days
And, ascending to the Father in heaven,
He sent us to preach.
And I, like all the disciples of Christ,
I walk around the world from country to country,
Preaching the gospel of the risen Christ,
I proclaim the Gospel to the world.
The throne of the emperor appears on the stage, Tiberius solemnly comes out, accompanied by a servant, sits down on the throne, the servant stands with a fan slightly behind.
Presenter (on the edge of the stage):
So to the glorious city of Rome one day
Maria came to the emperor...
There were guards at the entrance to the palace,
And noble guests with rich gifts
They hurried to the emperor's chambers.
3 Action
Tiberius, servant, 3 guests, angel, Mary Magdalene.
Rome. Palace of Emperor Tiberius.
Music sounds - Tiberius's theme.
1st guest (entering solemnly and kneeling before the emperor):
Great Emperor and Lord,
Accept this necklace as a gift,
From pearls, rubies and sapphires.
2nd guest:
Great King Tiberius! As a gift from us
Take this gold in abundance,
Let gold strengthen your power,
And will strengthen the power of the state.
3rd guest:
We brought a diamond from Sicily,
Of enormous value and very rare properties,
He is worthy to shine in the royal crown.
Tiberius nods favorably, accepting the gifts, each of which the servant places on a platter.
Mary Magdalene appears. The Emperor looks at her very menacingly.
The music sounds muffled - the theme of the myrrh-bearers 2.
Mary Magdalene:
I was once very rich
And she brought valuable gifts.
Today I am rich only in faith
In the Savior and Lord Christ.
What can I give today?
Here is a gift - an egg, a symbol of life, -
Christ is risen!
He shows the emperor the egg and also places it on a plate with other gifts.
Tiberius (surprised and angry, rising from the throne and approaching Mary):
How can anyone be resurrected?
This is incredible, impossible.
Then as soon as I believe on Sunday,
When the testicle turns red.
Servant (in horror, throwing away the fan):
Oh Emperor, look quickly
The testicle turns pink, no, darkens,
Oh miracle!
It turned bright red!
(On a platter among the cloth you need to hide a red egg in advance, which the servant will pick up and give to the emperor.)
Tiberius takes it in his hands and shows everyone the red testicle in great surprise, and says in unison with Maria:
- Truly Jesus Christ has risen!
They freeze at the edge of the stage, the emperor holds an egg in his raised hand, Maria stands nearby.
The Easter troparion sounds - a male choir.
The same angel comes out very solemnly, walks around the emperor and Mary, waving his wing at them. They move away, the angel walks along the cave and leaves.
4 Action
Girl, mother, 5th pea.
The throne is quickly removed. The mother comes in, cleans the house, hangs clean curtains on the window.
Girl (wakes up):
Mommy, what a wonderful dream I had! The testicle turned red! Do miracles really happen?
Mother (hopefully):
Everything is in God's hands.
Girl:
But how can the Lord help everyone at once, because there are many people on earth!
Mother:
You see, sometimes help comes as if on its own; sometimes, we don’t even notice that it was the Lord who sent it. It can come through a person or even through some inanimate object. After all, the emperor believed that Christ was Risen when he saw the egg?
The girl listens very carefully.
Girl:
Yes its true…
The mother leaves, begins to get ready for service, puts on a white scarf, takes off her apron, and takes a basket with eggs.
Girl:
Mommy, what is that greenery outside the window? It sways in the wind!
The mother comes to the window and opens it.
Mother:
Look! Yes, this pea has sprouted! And how did she get into the crack here? Well, now you will have your own kindergarten! Daughter, I’m going to go to the service, because tomorrow is Easter. And I will bring you a blessed egg.
The mother kisses the girl and leaves.
The music sounds louder, under it the pea grows more and more and plays with a ball with the girl, the ball falls, and the girl cannot get up and shows the pea with her hands that she cannot, then the pea blows soap bubbles from the window, the girl rejoices, catches them, laughs.
The mother returns, holds out the egg, but stops; she is surprised and shocked: she sees the girl sitting on the bed, talking to the pea.
Girl (seeing her mother, out of breath):
Mom, I think I'll get better! The sun warmed me up so much today. Pea, do you see how nicely it grows in the sun? I’ll get better too, start getting up and going out into the sun.
Mother:
God forbid! Here's an egg for you! Christ is risen!
Girl:
Truly risen!
Mother (goes to the window to open the curtain):
Look, the pea will soon bloom!
The mother turns away from the girl for a minute to take off her scarf and put the basket in the corner, so she does not immediately notice what is happening behind her back.
Girl:
The girl begins to get up and with very hesitant steps, swaying, goes to the window. Pea stretches out her hands to her, the girl stretches her hands towards her.
Music sounds - the girl's theme.
The mother rushes to her daughter to support her, then takes the girl and the pea to the middle of the stage, cries and rejoices, hugs the girl and the pea.
Mother:
The Lord Himself planted and raised a flower to please you, dear, and me too! Miracle, Lord!
Happy and solemn music sounds, all participants come out to it, line up in 2 rows, with the leaders in front.
2nd Presenter:
Well, what about the other peas? Have you forgotten about them, dear viewers? The one that flew wherever it wanted - catch it, they say, whoever can - fell into the gutter, and from there into the pigeon's crop and lay there, like Jonah in the belly of a whale.
1st Presenter:
2nd Presenter:
And the second one, which was about to fly into the sun, fell into a ditch and lay for several weeks in musty water until it swelled.
2nd pea:
How wonderfully I have grown fat! Really, I’ll burst soon, and I don’t think any pea could achieve more. I am the most wonderful of all five!
The rest of the peas pull her by the skirt and laugh at the braggart.
All artists (in unison, spreading their arms towards the audience):

Now, Father Tsar, look at how your daughters-in-law will manage your gifts.
Eldest daughter-in-law:

(Angel I appears).
Eldest daughter-in-law(without looking at Angel, waves his hand at him):
- Here's another! If I share with the poor and wretched, what kind of queen will I be?

(Angel II sighs and leaves. The middle daughter-in-law leaves. The youngest daughter-in-law sits in her place with a casket).

(The king takes off his cape. 1 Daughter-in-law recognizes him)
Eldest daughter-in-law:- Father Tsar, is that you?! Forgive me for being unreasonable.
Tsar: - So be it, I’ll forgive you before the holiday. But remember, girl: generosity and kindness are more valuable than wealth. (The king puts on different clothes again. He goes to the middle daughter-in-law) He knocks.
Middle daughter-in-law:
- Come in, Holy Wanderer, and tell me, isn’t it my husband’s destiny to be king?
(The king enters in disguise. In response, he spreads his hands and cannot say anything. Angel II appears).

Angel: (says to younger daughter-in-law)
Red maiden, call your sisters!

We will generously put it in the cake without fear...

If there is no good leaven in it!

We are all invited to celebrate Easter!
-
Everywhere the gospel is buzzing,
- People are pouring out of all the churches.
- The dawn is already looking from the sky...
- The snow cover has already been removed from the fields,
- And the rivers break from their shackles,
- And the nearby forest is greener...
Christ is risen! Christ is risen!
- The earth is waking up,
- And the fields are dressed,
- Spring is coming, full of miracles!
Christ is risen! Christ is risen!
Song:
1.On this joyful morning the forests awaken,
The dew lights up with the lights of mother-of-pearl
The song of spring flows like a river both far and wide
It is God who sends happiness into the world with his own hand.
2. God's creation is a miracle; we cannot count miracles in nature.
