A one-night Live Nativity event is happening in downtown Minden’s Historic District this weekend – December 21 from 5:30 to 9 p.m.

“The Live Nativity will be filled with characters, a community choir, a Shepherd’s field and more, creating a memorable adventure for the entire family,” said Pearls of Purpose member Sarah Overall.   

Multiple churches, schools and organizations are participating including St. John’s Episcopal Church where the walk-through Bethlehem will begin. Attendees will then move on from church to church taking in each station and hearing the story of the birth of Jesus Christ.  

“Bringing a nativity scene to life with real people in a realistic setting together with the unity of the local churches, will bring joy to the community this Christmas season,” said committee member and lifelong Minden resident Kelly Paul. 

The tour will take approximately 30 to 45 minutes to complete. With this route being a little spread out, golf carts will be available for those that cannot walk the length of the scene.  More information including a map of the route is on the Facebook event page, Christmas Live Nativity. This event is open and free to the public.
