This evening, for our advent activity, we went to see a reenactment of Jesus’ birth. This particular event has become our tradition for the past three years and as always, we enjoyed the experience. The church that sponsors this reenactment transformed their facility into significant locations in the town of Bethlehem where there were Roman soldiers, live animals, wise men, and shepherds. Below are pictures from tonight’s event:
