Bethlehem Revisited is a walk-through living nativity in Waxahachie that recreates the town of ancient Bethlehem behind Central Presbyterian Church. Families stroll its streets and meet volunteers playing innkeepers, merchants, craftsmen, tradesmen and clergy as they act out daily life, alongside live sheep, camels and donkeys. Visitors can also stop at Herod's Court and watch the nightly parade of the three kings carrying their gifts to the Nativity. The program runs continuously from 6 to 9 pm, with key scenes repeating every 30 minutes, so families can arrive at any point in the evening. It runs on two Friday-to-Sunday weekends in December. Admission is free and donations are welcome, either online or by card at the souvenir booth. Free parking is at the Jesus Center, 423 N. College St. The organizers describe it as a non-denominational tradition since 1997, with volunteers and visitors of all faiths welcome. It is an outdoor evening walk in December, so dress children for the weather.
