Christmas Stories

I've written several Christmas stories that our church uses for an event called the "Bethlehem Walk." This is an event that about 200 of our members and regular attenders put on as a gift to our community to help them keep Christ in Christmas. The church, and the grounds around it, are transformed into the city of Bethlehem as it may have looked in the days leading up to the birth of Christ, including Roman soldiers on horses, shepherds tending their sheep, a lively marketplace, and at one point, the stop at the home of a storyteller.

The storyteller tells stories from the past to encourage the visitors in their faith. I thought it might be nice to post them here on the Internet so they can encourage you in your faith, too. Enjoy!
