Miracle of the Cherry Tree

Miracle of the Cherry Tree is a modern dance choreogrraphy about an apocryphal tale originally sourced from the Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew. It depicts the first miracle of Christ performed while he was still in Mary’s womb while Mary was traveling from Nazareth to Bethlehem. When Mary and Joseph entered a garden of cherries Jesus spoke from within the womb and commanded a cherry tree to bend down so his mother could have some cherries. Even though this story was never mentioned in the bible and is likely fictional it still presents a parable depicting the divinity of Christ. This book includes the piano and vocal musical score of the Cherry Tree Carol excerpted from Cecil J Sharp’s English Folk Carols.
