The outdoor play takes about 20-minutes in total, but manages in that short time to give viewers and participants an idea of what the birth of Jesus Christ might have looked like.

Most of all, it’s a small reminder during a hectic season that a gift given more than 2,000 years ago still matters today.

There will also be an indoor crèche display featuring approximately 150 Nativity sets from around the world.

Hot chocolate, cookies and squares will be served indoors.

All are welcome.

This event is a Christmas gift to the community from local members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Lacombe.
