Do you understand "Dublin"?
Some may find this wacky. Some may find it unhelpful. Some may find the Dublin accents hard to understand.
One thing is for certain it is quite something to hear young 1960s Irish Catholic school children telling their school teacher (and the national TV station!) the stories of Jesus in their own words!
You may find the cartoon "overdub" uncomfortable. Then again maybe not. If the visuals bother you, shut your eyes and listen and enjoy little children tell what they know about stories of Jesus' life.
Here are some links to the "Give Up Yer Aul Sins" film made at the time, and, appearing for our enjoyment on YouTube. The following are some of my favourites:
The Birth of Jesus
Give Up Yer Aul Sins
The Easter Story
The voices are real 'live' recordings of young children, and the stories were not told in jest. Pretty amazing, eh?
