Many visit Bethlehem
Thousands visited First Baptist Church and its Walk Through Bethlehem this past weekend. The church sponsors the event annually and converts an entire city block, in downtown Baxley, into a replica of the town of Bethlehem to share the story of the birth of Jesus Christ.
Pictured right, an angel appears to tell of the coming of Christ, and above, a tax collector sternly greets guests as they enter the city collecting a shekel from each person. The city also features an inn (good luck getting a room), live animals, a manger with Mary, Joseph and baby, vendors, Roman soldiers, a blacksmith, and much more. Hundreds of volunteers associated with the church work each year to produce Walk Through Bethlehem.
