Bethlehem walk

One of the churches in town where our other church is hosts an annual "Bethlehem walk". We headed out there last Friday night.

How neat! They had some people dress up as characters from the nativity story, and sharing their story with us. Then they had a marketplace, where you could sign the census, get some shekels and 'purchase' things like hand made tree ornaments, mandarin oranges, candles and hotdogs (that you could roast on the bonfire outside). The kids thought it was really neat, especially when the women at the live animal booth - really - let them pet the little white bunny. There were sheep, a chicken, a piglet, goats, a duck and the cutest bunny you ever did see. Then we went back inside for snacks and entertainment. Fun night!

Not great pics, but it was dark!
