Performed live Nativity scene - Church News

By Andrew Mckinney

DURHAM, N.C. — Members of the Burlington 1st Ward, Durham North Carolina Stake, held their 25th Annual Live Drive Through Nativity on Dec. 8-9 in Elon, N.C. Youth dressed in costumes presented the live Nativity scene in five segments: Gabriel's visit to Mary, the trip from Nazareth to Bethlehem, the manger scene, the shepherds in the field and the wise men.

According to the Burlington Times-News, several churches in the area do live Nativities, but The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was one of the first to start the tradition.
