West Milford Living Nativity gives visitors glimpse of Christ’s birth

Roughly 1,800 people attended the Living Nativity re-enactment with guided tours through the town of Bethlehem at Our Lady Queen of Peace (OLQP) Parish in the Hewitt neighborhood of West Milford, N.J., on the evenings of Dec. 6 and 7.

In the church parking lot, visitors could step back in time to experience the miracle of Christmas unfold before their eyes. They walked through the streets of Bethlehem, met its people, and witnessed the birth of Jesus in a live reenactment featuring live animals, authentic scenery, music, and narration. Visitors also could enjoy food, which was available in the school cafeteria.
