Main Street Bethlehem, offering a re-creation of the times of the birth of Jesus and the journey of Joseph and Mary, will host its final weekend, Friday through Sunday, Dec. 8-10.
The venue is located on a Burnet First Baptist Church property, two blocks east of the town square, 300 E. Washington St. The re-enactment within the walls of the venue features area church volunteers who recreate scenarios of old town Bethlehem.
Visitors experience the presence of live animals, tradesmen, temple leaders and the Romans as they affect all aspects of life in that time. Savor the smells of fresh goat butter, campfires and hot bread.
Then, immerse yourself in the marketplace. Search for the inn, only to find it full. Then follow the trail to the cave where a road-weary couple has moved in with the animals. What happens next changes the world in biblical proportions.
Admission is free. Donations are accepted.
