Bethlehem Village on the Grounds of Hebron Baptist Church

The dates for the 2024 Bethlehem Village are: Friday, December 20, 6 – 9 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, December, 21 and 22, 5 – 9 p.m.

The Village of Bethlehem, a full-fledged modern day reprisal of the first century village of Bethlehem complete with reenactment of Christ’s birth, singing angels, roman guards, an olive press, working looms, carpenter’s, blacksmith’s, weapons and scribe shops, and yes…even live camels and wise men come to life. Look for a working forge and bakery, visit with the shopkeepers, and interact with the Roman Soldiers! Much more than just a “living nativity,” The Village of Bethlehem is a real village – a compilation and culmination of work carried out by various members of community churches in and near the Rockfish Valley and the Charlottesville/Albemarle County area.
