Live Nativity

Two weekends ago we visited one of the (many) churches here in Katy to see a live nativity story.

It was called 'Journey to Bethlehem' and was a live, interactive walk from Nazareth to Bethlehem. There were 150 actors and live animals involved.  It was dark with torches all along the route, quite magical.

On the way we saw people preparing for the journey, came across the romans wanting to know our family name and destination of the journey.  We met the three kings who were setting off on their travels with gifts for the new born king.  We saw the shepherds and their sheep just at the time when the angels appeared and told them that Jesus was born in nearby Bethlehem.  We were counted by the Romans and paid our taxes before walking through Bethlehem.  After this we tried to find a place in the local hotel but it was full and that is when we came across the stable and saw Maria, Joseph and baby Jesus.

It was very impressive and a nice way to get into the christmas spirit.
