Journeying to the Holy Land .......at Donaldson Park -

Christmas Eve, 2015, we traveled to the Holy Land at Donaldson Park to witness a live nativity scene and experience vicariously the biblical story recounting the birth of Christ

Here is Mary arriving in Jerusalem riding on the back of a Ryonkey


Mary and Joseph gazing lovingly at baby Jesus


Mary contemplating her future with a newborn baby and the challenges she will face


Two shepards have come to pay homage to the Savior


A very serious Shepard tending to his camel, making sure the camel doesn't stampede


The smallest Shepard seems to be beguiled by the ways of a modern world


Three Wise Men arrived at the stable bearing gifts for the baby Jesus - a small golden container in their up turned palm contains, perhaps exotic spices from Penze, and in their other hand a coveted iPhone
to give to the baby.


A final photograph of the sacred location.  You can see that Angels had come too.


Next year we will relive the occasion.
