In Poland, they react negatively to the Christmas performance, where armed people in Polish military uniform came to the manger
In Poland, the situation with excessive creativity of organizers of Christmas events is being discussed. The Polish press describes a Christmas performance that was staged at a school in the city of Ełk, located in the north-east of the country. This performance was the subject of criticism from ordinary Polish citizens. They were outraged at how they decided to show the children a well-known biblical story.
It turns out that the authors of the performance decided that the Virgin Mary, Jesus, Joseph and the Magi were not enough. They decided to introduce the Polish military with machine guns into the plot. Young people (including the schoolchildren themselves) in the uniform of the Polish army, with weapons in their hands came to the manger of the baby Jesus. Together with them, an actor in the guise of a Catholic priest appeared in the same plot.
This fact led to the fact that many Poles, after the news of the strangeness of the performance, began to call to account those who "decided to militarize even the bright holiday of Christmas."
The director of the educational institution said that "it was necessary to understand the plan":
Even more indignation among ordinary Poles was caused by the information that the performance of this kind for children was carried out not even by secular employees, but by representatives of the Congregation of Benedictine Sisters. They reportedly “found a consensus with the school leadership on the plot of the Christmas stories».
Parents of schoolchildren in Elk said that the teaching staff "behaved incorrectly."
