Past Lives At Church's Bethlehem Depiction
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: November 29, 2007
Hope United Methodist Church brings to life the significance of Christmas with its annual "Walk Through Bethlehem" from Friday through Monday.
The re-creation allows spectators to stroll the streets of the city where, according to the New Testament, Joseph brought Mary to give birth to their son.
Among the attractions will be shopkeepers, shepherds, a traditional Jewish home and synagogue, the story of the three kings from the east who followed the star, and song from angelic hosts.
Children can ride a chariot, chat with Roman soldiers, pet animals and leave gifts in the stable for the baby Jesus.
The Bethlehem event is open from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at Hope United Methodist, 2200 Little Road, Trinity.
Admission is free but Roman soldiers will collect a "tax" of nonperishable food, which will go to needy families in the area.
