Echoes of Christmas

On Tuesday evening, we went to Liberty Park for Echoes of Christmas, a live nativity presented by an interfaith organization. The live nativity retold the story of Christ's birth through song. It was a cold, snowy night, but I'm so glad we went. We were able to be reminded of the real meaning of Christmas and able to feel the spirit.

The girls liked seeing the live animals...sheep and a camel. Gabrielle happily said "Woof woof" when she saw the first sheep.

These were our wonderful guides that took us through the nativity to see the shepherds, the priest that had read of Christ's birth and knew the signs, the wise men, the innkeepers, Mary and Joseph and baby Jesus, and the angel choir.


My friend Carin let us know about this event, and I'm so glad she did. I believe this was their second year and they are hoping to make it an annual event. It really was wonderful.
