Visit live nativity Dec. 5-7
HERNDON — The third annual Walk Through Bethlehem, at Grace Community Church, RD1 Herndon, will take place Dec. 5-7. This interactive program allows visitors to get a feel of what it was like to live in biblical times, following Mary and Joseph on their way Bethlehem.
Hear the sounds of the merchants, money changers and live animals in the market place. See handmade tapestries and watch craftsman at work as the aroma of fresh-baked bread lingers in the air. Taste the homemade sweetness of authentic candies and baked goods of ancient times, and shop while children play at your feet. As visitors walk through Bethlehem, the Christmas story unfolds for Mary and Joseph, from the beginning of their pilgrimage through Bethlehem’s market place and finally to the scene of the manger where the true meaning of Christmas is revealed. Doors open Dec. 5-6 from 6-9 p.m. and Dec. 7 between 5-8 p.m. Handicapped accommodations will be provided.
