Our ward (a group of Latter-day Saints or Mormons) this year hosted A Night in Bethlehem for its annual ward party. We met first in the chapel where we received instruction as to how the events would unfold and had an opening prayer. As families, we gathered together outside the "gates*" of Bethlehem and waited to be announced by the Roman Soldiers (*the doors into the gymnasium). Each family was announced and a census-taken and recorded by the town scribes and paid their taxes (cans of food for the local food bank). In turn, each family was given a small bag of coins (pennies) in which to spend in Bethlehem at the various booths and Inns. Roman Soldiers announce each family Families were recorded on scrolls by census-takers (not shown) and taxes collected (cans of food for the local food bank). Ladies work at the Food Booth serving local delicacies: pita bread and hummus, olive spread, olives, cheese selection, hot lentil soup, dried dates, nuts, chicken filled pita pockets, orange segments and grape clusters... Our family settles on chairs and table at a local Inn to eat. Our shared platter of food. Little Susannah and Joseph. Hannah and Me. Shepard boy, Jonathan, plays the dreidel game. Jonathan and Joseph play dreidel for the "pot." Rebekah learns to write in several different writing styles at a booth: Early Hebrew, Middle Hebrew, Late Hebrew, Egyptian, etc... Susie holds our family's basket. The water well at the center of town. Local Town's leadership instructing a Roman Soldier before Joseph and Mary come into town late in the evening looking for an Inn. Another vendor selling Gold(painted stones), Frankincense (sugared ginger pieces), and Myrrh (incense cones) in a small pouch for coins. Another vendor took family pictures. Expectant Mary and Joseph arrive in town late and find most Inns full. An Inn owner shows them to a stable where baby Jesus (Edmund Brandt) is born and laid in a wooden manger. Wise Men appear to King Herod asking where the baby King has been born. Angels proclaim his birth, Shepherds come, and finally Wise Men come, sing, and make their way to the King with their presents. The Primary sang The Shepherd's Lullaby: Mary, Mary, hush see the child. Joseph, Joseph, look see how mild. This is Jesus; this is our King This is our Savior, His praises we sing. Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus (Richard, Catherine, and Edmund Brandt) Shepherd Jonathan with his skin bag. Various townspeople wandered the streets: tax collectors, beggars, shop keepers...

This weekend the whole family went to Warner Robins to Walk Through Bethlehem. We met up with Pablo and the six of us walked back in time. The "show" is hosted by a Baptist Church in Warner Robins, they have been doing this for 13 years! The whole thing revolves around Jesus' birth - you go out with a guide (who is a shepherd) in a group of about 25 people and the shepherd takes you through Bethlehem, have to fill out the census card (the key way for the church to get more parishioners) and pay the tax to the Roman soldiers. Then our guide took us through the market at Bethlehem... Spice vendors A cart with junk All the props are real Bread makers (check out the little boy) Carpenter making crosses More real props Candle Makers The priests at the Temple There were real animals, including camels We were visiting the shepherds and the angel appeared to announce the birth of Jesus We came around the corner and saw Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus - he was a real baby! All of this - free. Absolutely free. To all the Georgians out there - I highly recommend checking this out.
