MINIATURE Marys and Josephs will get their chance to shine in the Echo.

Our 36-page special Nativity play supplement will be available free inside the paper today - Tuesday, December 20.

It includes adorable photographs from across the length and breadth of south Essex of little stars having their moment on stage.

While some primary schools have opted for more traditional plays, others have taken a more futuristic approach to the festivities.

And you don't just have to grab a copy of the paper.

Copies of many of the photographs will be available to buy from our photo sales team.
