I invite you to join me as we witness the wonder of that very first Christmas.
We will be sitting on the bleachers surrounding the park, but we could just as easily be overlooking the town of Bethlehem. Peeking in as we follow Joseph as he leads the donkey into the village, carrying Mary on its back. The horses will come galloping in as the soldiers round up the townspeople to pay their taxes...the children escape, playing tag as they run around the bonfires.
As quiet descends on the set you may be able to hear the lambs baa, as the first cry of baby Jesus breaks the spell. The townspeople gather round to see this wondrous thing that has come to pass.
Please join us for this 30 minute production, bring your friends, many are touched by this presentation.
The Living Nativity will be presented in Uxbridge's Centennial Park (located just behind the Town Offices)
Over 130 actors are expected to participate in this four day (2 shows per evening) outdoor narrated recreation that includes. authentic costumes and live animals. Amongst the actors will be a donkey, sheep, goats, chickens, calves, ponies, and horses. In 2005 over 5,000 enjoyed the show. This production was first presented in 1974.

Uxbridge is blessed with a special Christmas presentation alternating every other year. This year it is the presentation of the Christmas Story and next year it will be the wonderful music of Handel's Messiah.
