Step back in time. . . Bethlehem is recreated in High Springs. Walk the streets of Bethlehem, smell the food cooking on open fires, taste the bread and oil, and listen to the clanging of brass and the bartering of goods.

See the animals. . . See the camels, donkeys, and sheep, just like the Bethlehem of 2,000 years ago.

Visit the shops. . . The townspeople of Bethlehem have opened shops. Visit their stores and see bread, jewelry, pottery, oil, and more.

Hear the townspeople. . . The news spreads throughout the town that a baby has been born. But this isn't just an ordinary baby. It is the Messiah! Controversy fills the town. Some people believe the good news and tell others. Doubters argue with them, saying it is impossible. Women gather at the well and spread the latest gossip.
