Hundreds Take The ‘Journey Through Bethlehem’ In Bratt (With Gallery)
December 18, 2016
The First Baptist Church of Bratt presented a live nativity event Saturday evening — Journey Through Bethlehem.
Hundreds of people were able to walk the road through Bethlehem and experience the Christmas story come to life as they were able to see the shepherds in the field, learn from the villagers, be turned away by the innkeeper that had no room and see the Holy Family in the stable.
There were also the sights and sounds of a real blacksmith shop, bakery and other shops that were found in Bethlehem at the time of Jesus’ birth. Children were able to participate in craft activities to make the event come to life for them.
The journey through Bethlehem ended with a stop by the manger with baby Jesus.
