| A Bit About the History.... |
For years I had dreamed of having a live
nativity to share with
the community the marvelous story of the birth of Jesus Christ. But we just didn't have the right place to host
it. When we built the horse stable in 1993, I spied an opportunity and had some adjustments made to the barn to accommodate
my ideas, and the dream became a
reality. With the help of a friend, Janet Benson, we put together
the first event, and it was a huge success. Each year I have worked
at adding props and script and improving lighting and sound. My desire
has been to keep the nativity simple and as Biblically accurate as possible.
|
The pre-recorded script comes straight from Biblical
narrative and is intertwined with Christmas carols to tell the
story. The account starts with the angel's prophetic appearance to
Mary and then Joseph, informing them of the birth of Jesus and ends
with the majestic visit of wise men to the home of the young
child, Jesus.
