The Living Nativity

Experience the Joy of that First Christmas

Please  join me as we witness the wonder of that very first Christmas.

Once again this year the story of the simple birth of Christ will come alive in Uxbridge with a cast of over 125. This live production portrays the events leading up to the moment when the Baby Jesus was born in the humble stable, then follows the travels of the shepherds and the wisemen's entourage as they come to pay homage to the newborn King.

The village of Bethlehem is re-created, to form the backdrop for an exciting and colourful depiction of the very first Christmas. Everyone enjoys the pageantry of the Roman Soldiers on horseback, the live animals, the colourful costumes and the majestic Christmas music and narration. Your crèche will take on a whole new meaning as you watch the story unfold before your very eyes.

Sitting on the bleachers surrounding the park, you feel as though you are actually overlooking the town of Bethlehem. Peeking in, You follow Joseph leading the donkey into the village carrying Mary on its back. The horses come galloping in as the soldiers round up the townspeople to pay their taxes ... the children escape, playing tag as they run around the bonfires.

As quiet descends on the set you may be able to hear the lambs baa, as the first cry of baby Jesus breaks the spell. The townspeople gather round to see this wondrous thing that has come to pass ......

About The Living Nativity,

The live dramatic presentation of the Christmas story in Uxbridge, Ontario.

The LIVING NATIVITY is sponsored by the Uxbridge Baptist church, as a gift to the community. It all began in 1974 with annual productions on the main street of Uxbridge for several years. After a number of years off the Living Nativity returned in 1985, and has been produced alternate years by Co-producers, Joan Wideman, and Brian Evans, working with a strong team of over 25 preparation and behind the scene volunteers. It was last produced in 2009 and drew crowds of over 4000 to Centennial Park.
