Come and capture the meaning of Christmas. The Living Nativity is a walk through event, reminiscent of that first Holy Christmas.

Animals included in the scene are sheep, donkeys, mules, dogs, chickens, guineas, ducks, rabbits and horses. The nativity is housed in an authentic Amish built gambrel roof barn. The original wondrous Christmas Story will spring to life once again, as you look upon this re-enactment of that Holy Night when Jesus our Savior was born. Enter into the peace of a certain cool winter's night when while there were "Shepherds watching their flock by night" Jesus came.
"While they were there (in Bethlehem), the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped Him in clothes and placed Him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn."
