Bethlehem Revisited

Travel back to Old World Bethlehem. This Christmas season will be like no other you have ever experienced! Imagine being able to step back in time, 2000 years ago, and walk the streets of ancients Bethlehem as Mary and Joseph did on the night of Christ's birth.
Looking for a room, they not only encountered innkeepers on their journey, but also merchants, food vendors, craftsmen, tradesmen, clergy, and many other citizens as well as live sheep, camels, and donkeys. The streets were bustling, they will be for you, too.
Stroll around the walled city and see demonstrations of historic crafts as you journey to the site of the nativity. You can also visit Herod's Court and await the nightly parade of the three kinds bringing their treasure to Bethlehem's newest citizen.

This Saturday night we took Grace to Waxahachie to see Bethlehem Revisited. This was so neat to see and experience especially for Grace. We talk about Christmas and why we celebrate it and how Jesus was born in a "barn" but this was a way for us to talk about it again with Grace in a way that she could see it and understand hands on. This is something we will definitely do every year.
