Living Nativity - Evening One


It's that time of year again when my church puts on a Living Nativity.  We had over 1,100 people come through on our first night tonight.  We will put it on again for two more evenings.  You can drive through or walk through.  As you enter, you are greeted by a Roman soldier who wants to know how many people are in your caravan.  Bethlehem was a busy town as many had come for the census by order of Caesar Augustus.  We have prophets that guide you along the way, telling you the account of the birth of Christ.  Over 200 characters are involved along with live animals.  Many will come inside after they have gone through and enjoy the warm beverages and snacks that are served.  It's a great outreach to our community.  My grandson Daniel is one of the Baby Jesus's this year and my daughter Annie was of course Mary.  Daniel did wonderfully inspite of the 23 degree temperature.  Snow is in the forecast for Saturday and Sunday.  The next two albums could have some fun images!  To view the entire album click here.
