the night Jesus was born

Sunday afternoon we took the boys to a church in town to walk through their recreation of Bethleham the night Jesus was born. It is a huge production and so life like. They really go all out. And it appears they have been doing this marketplace for 20+ years. Just amazing.

Before going into the market you wait in the auditorium and they have music and such while you wait. The place was full but the wait really wasn’t too long at all.

then it was off to the market. where we saw camels

street preachers

got to pet some chickens

were stopped by the roman soldiers

then made our way to the stables were we saw more animals

and saw the baby jesus in the manger
