How the Program Works!

The Bethlehem Village Entrance
Build excitement long before visitors actually see the shops and smell the baking bread! As guests approach your building, they'll hear festive music and the buzz of a bustling village.

The Registration Station
First you'll take a photo of each family or group -- then you'll mail it to them for a surprising follow-up! This is a great opportunity to hand parents A Night in Bethlehem Family-Time Devotions booklet that's packed with easy, faith-building activities that families will love doing.

The Marketplace Shops
Welcome to an unforgettable experience -- exploring the busy Marketplace in Bethlehem. Here, guests might create a toy top, craft a laurel wreath, or design an authentic Roman bulla. Each experience helps guests better understand what life was like when Jesus was born.

The Stable
An excited group of shepherds will lead groups of guests to the stable, where guests can interact with a very special -- but weary -- couple and their newborn. This isn't your typical "living Nativity" because guests will talk with Joseph and Mary, ask them what it was like to stay in a stable, and discover that God used regular people to fulfill his promise. What a remarkable reminder of God's amazing love for us!
