Are you ready to take your family back in time ... arrive in Bethlehem for the census and enter a market place bustling with the sights and sounds of the very first Christmas? You will wander through Bethlehem as the drama unfolds!
You'll meet a census taker, shepherds, shopkeepers, an innkeeper Roman soldiers and even Mary & Joseph, who can't wait to share the remarkable story of Christmas.
You'll create interesting projects and crafts ... ornaments, jewelry, toys and more for children and families at each marketplace shop.
You'll nibble treats from a first-century Bakery where children can make their own bread, grind spices at the Spice Shop, and taste yummy snacks from a Sweet Shop!
You'll watch gifted artisans and wander through period shops where you'll find a glass blower, a potter, a woodworker, a painter, a calligrapher, a jeweler, a face-painter, spinners, and more, watching them create amazing art ... and have the opportunity to purchase unique items. A local antiques dealer, Scandinavian Antiques, will be supplying beautiful antiques for this event.
