Holiday Traditions - Bethlehem Revisited

About 45 minutes down the road is a hidden holiday treasure.  Tucked into a residential neighborhood in Waxahachie, Texas, is a living nativity village with live actors and animals.  Camels, goats, and sheep played their parts in Bethlehem.  Actors occupied stalls "selling" their wares and playing their parts in full immersion.

And through the night on a rotating schedule the events of the nativity and the arrival of the three wise men were played out.

The event has been held for years and is hosted by the Central Presbyterian Church.  It is free and operates on donations.  They always host it the first two weekends of December each year.  We go when we can.  Highly recommended!
