Bethlehem Walk


This year, we decided to check out a neighbourhood church's annual Christmas production called the Bethlehem Walk. It's a gigantic church and it gets transformed to look like Bethlehem. After waiting in an unfortunately long (between 1-2 hours) lineup, we were finally able to enter and it was really interesting. Awfully crowded so I'm not sure we'd go again but we're still glad we went.

In the first room, there's a sheep pen with some shepherds and some angels appear in the sky and sing to everyone:

Then, they open the city gates and you are able to wander the streets of Bethlehem. We met several Roman centurions (one even locked Connor up in jail).

We only stopped at a few of the many booths.

This is me and Hudson looking at the soap/perfume booth.

After a while, the wise men arrived at Herod's palace
As you leave, you pass by a blacksmith and carpenter shop where they are making nails and crosses.
I would have loved to stay and visit every booth, it was all very well done and I really admired all the work and the spirit that went into it.
