Years ago, my mom heard about a walk through nativity scene. When she went, she was so impressed by it that year after year, she urged us to go.
We've always been too busy though. We've been out of town or had important things to do, so we've never been able to make it. There's never been enough time.
This year we made the time.
I guess I didn't know exactly what to expect, but I surely didn't expect this. The attention to detail and amount of work involved with this annual production was nothing less than phenomenal. We were taken back in time and awe inspired as we took the same journey that once was taken by a young couple, to a little town called Bethleham.
The travels began by getting a gold coin to pay our taxes.

The travels began by getting a gold coin to pay our taxes.
We were told that we needed to travel for three days from where we lived in Nazareth, to our place of birth in Bethlehem for the census.
As we traveled, we met different people and families along the way who were concerned about the new laws as they voiced their opinions.
We watched as (the cutest) shepherds noticed a star.
We were warned to continue on our path and pay our taxes.
Along the way, we passed through towns and markets.
We listened as three wise men spoke of a new King being born, causing King Herod to order the baby to be found.
The three kings followed the star as we continued on our path, meeting more travelers along the way.
Seeing shepherds once again, we were finally led to the manger.
When we approached, it was something to behold.
The night was one we'll never forget.
In the hustle and bustle of life, especially around this time of year, it's easy to forget what the season is really about.
It was nice to get a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas, through the most amazing way possible. Experiencing it first hand through an incredible journey of our Savior's birth on that holiest of nights.
