A Night in Bethlehem

At Christmas time we do all we can to remember our Savior, Jesus Christ. As a part of our celebration this year we wanted to attend a live nativity. A friend from our ward told us about one that was supposed to be really cool. It ended up being truly phenomenal. For anyone who is at all interested maybe for next year, it is here in Provo. Here is the link:

Suddenly Mary and Joseph arrived to try and find a space in the inn, which was were we all were. There was no room, so the innkeeper and his wife showed them to the stable. It must be said here that Mary was riding a real donkey, and looked very uncomfortable.

If you see one live manger scene in Provo, this should be the one. It was a great way to start our Christmas celebration.
