This was the part that was happening on stage when I was sneaking out the side during the Hallelujah chorus (that will make sense if you read the post below) - so I didn't see it for many years. Once I switched roles, I got to sneak a peek (supposed to be "sleeping" while this happened) and watch it. The tomb always fascinated me because there was some sort of screen over the entrance, so the person inside always looked...not like a person. It gave that "angel" thing more of a real feeling.
Oh Mom would not be amused to know I have posted this, so don't tell her, okay? This was a picture...probably from when I was about a fifth grader (judging from the hair) of our "Pilgrim Family 3." The Pageant took place in a coliseum and the whole basketball floor was the "stage" - along with an actual stage at the end of it. Because we were so far away from the crowd (who sat in the bleachers), we had to wear heavy makeup so we didn't look washed out. After the Pageant on Sunday morning, we would rush home and have to scrub all the makeup off our faces, hands, and legs (anything that showed had to be made up) and then start over getting ready for church. I was usually finding traces of makeup even after several showers. That stuff stayed around forever!
