Step back in time, over 2000 years ago, and walk the streets of ancient Bethlehem as Mary and Joseph did on the night of Christ's birth. On your journey to the site of the Nativity, you will meet innkeepers, merchants, craftsmen, tradesmen, clergy, and many other citizens as they portray daily life in the City of Bethlehem, complete with sheep, camels, and donkeys. You can also visit Herod's Court and await the nightly parade of the three kings bringing their treasures to Bethlehem's newest citizen.

The program runs continuously throughout the evening with key scenes repeating every 30 minutes:

Mary and Joseph ride into the city: top and bottom of the hour (:00 and :30)
Angel appears to the shepherds: :10 and :40 of each hour
Herod's Court: :15 and :45 of each hour
