Journey To Bethlehem Information and Resources

Experience the journey Mary and Joseph took to Bethlehem 2,000 years ago with an outdoor, candlelit dramatization of the Christmas story. Our Journey begins inside with a brief overview of biblical prophecy, presented through multimedia and short dramatic vignettes (up to 25 minutes), explaining why the Messiah was to be born. Then groups of guests are taken to a carpenter's shop in Nazareth, where they receive their traveling papers and become a family of Jews who, like Mary and Joseph, must return to their hometown of Bethlehem for the Roman census.

The Journey then continues outdoors on candle-illumined walks, leading to a series of historical scenes acted out by more than 50 adults and children of the church, complete with elaborate sets and costumes. The 30-minute tour includes a visit to a mapmaker's shop, as well as encountering the realities of a long trip by foot during that era—beggars, the threat of thieves, and demanding Roman soldiers. Faith is also evident. Travelers are welcomed to warm themselves by a fire and hear a rabbi explain how prophets, hundreds of years ago, told that a Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. And there are wise men following a star, convinced it will lead them to the Messiah. Finally, the path leads to fields on the outskirts of Bethlehem, and then to an inn and a stable where Jesus has been born. Travelers will discover that the baby Jesus is God's promised Messiah, that He is the Savior and the true giver of peace to all who believe in Him. At the end of the Journey, guests are invited to warm up with hot chocolate and cookies in the church function hall.
