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

Our 36-page special Nativity play supplement will be available free inside the paper today - Tuesday, December 18.

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.

All schools sent in their own pictures, with all in South Essex being contacted to take part in the supplement.

Those wishing to get their own copy of an individual photo should contact the school.
