A Night in Bethlehem

What a gorgeous night with a beautiful sunset, where we took a walk to Bethlehem. As we entered the gate, we signed the register, and paid our Taxes with canned food donations. We were dressed in Biblical attire. We enjoyed feasting at the market place of pita bread and spicy hummus. Then at the Galilee Grill we enjoyed barbecued chicken pieces and grilled veggies on a stick. Then off to Ruth's Orchard to enjoy some mandarin orange pieces and mixed grains salad. Stopped by Jacobs Well for some grape juice to drink. Then off to the Magi's Booth of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh, also rock candy treats. For dessert it was Bath Sheba's Bakery, where we ate white cake with pomegranate seeds on it. The Nativity program was put on by the youth and the Primary children. They used a real donkey. It was a wonderful night the weather was warm. A good time was had by all who attended.
