The Living Nativity is a way to remember why we celebrate Christmas and the perfect way to kick off the holiday season with your family. Come enjoy a live cast, a Bethlehem market street, animals, and complimentary hot chocolate to end the night. The Living Nativity is a journey back in time as you walk through the sights and sounds from thousands of years ago to the time when Jesus was born. You
will be summoned by Roman Soldiers, greeted at the city gates by tax collectors, and find wise men from the East and their camels. A carpenter and blacksmith can be seen working at their trade, along with pottery makers, weavers, bakers, shepherds with their sheep, and more! If you follow the star, it will lead you to the newborn babe, wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. All proceeds go to various local charities as well as international charities like Hirschie Smile and Operation Smile. The Alpine Living Nativity is a 100% charity organization and is brought to life by hundreds of volunteers each year and has been able to donate over $600,000 since it started in 2003.
