They take a boat ride across a massive lake into Bethlehem, where they mingle with the townspeople who greet them with fresh water, fruit and assorted cheeses. Roman soldiers on white horses lead them along a lighted path, where they encounter the Three Wise Men with a live camel resting at their side. They look on as the archangel Gabriel appears at the Virgin Mary's home and tells her that she is carrying a child. They watch an evil King Herod, who plots to kill the newborn.

Wow, I had no idea some churches would spend over a million bucks to do a Christmas program. I guessed expensive, but had no idea how much so.
I have a friend here in Colorado that attended a Christmas show at a Texas church that charges 35 bucks.
Good find, thanks!
