Imagine a little village that existed long before colored lights, reindeers and Santa Claus. Roman Soldiers walk the streets and shopkeepers are going about their everyday lives, yet this village is on the brink of something immense, the birth of one who would forever change the course of human history. Experience this village, as it really was. Come to Bethlehem and see for yourself the magic and wonder of the first Christmas. As you step back in time and enter the gates of Bethlehem of Judea. The Roman emperor has issued an order that a census be taken throughout the Empire and every citizen must register. On a cold winter's night, you are traveling the streets illuminated by torchlight, wandering deeper into the heart of the village where cautious Roman soldiers patrol the crowd, shepherds and livestock are among the many passerby. Shops and shopkeepers inhabit a bustling marketplace, and welcoming cheers abound. Now, far away from the tinseled trees and crowded malls that most commonly usher in the Christmas holiday season, this is an event no one should miss.
