The other night Taija and I joined the youth in our ward in attendance to "Live Bethlehem." The 1st Church of Coral Springs puts on their interpretation of what the town of Bethlehem would have been like at the time of Christ's birth. They have the Roman soldiers there and treat all of the people that come through as peasants that have come to be a part of the census. Here are the 3 wisemen that are located a little ways outside of the 'city.'
Not a great pic, but this is a little group of shepherds outside the city encouraging people to go see the Christ child
I didn't get any pics of the Roman soldiers - bummer! They were really cool, going around bossing everyone around! Here are the pics of some donkeys and shepherds
The Star that can be seen throughout most of the little city
And of course the Manger Scene
