The dance steps by the students of Sacred Heart Girls Higher Secondary School, Mawlai added colour to the beautiful and well lit stage. The scenes began with the calling of the four fishermen on the banks of the Lake Galilee and proceeded to the different miracles performed by Jesus Christ as scenes proceeded.
