Pictures of the Nativity Walk  and other Christmas events.

On a bitterly cold evening - though colder were to come, hardy villages met in the Square to tell the Christmas story, singing carols as they went.

They saw Mary & Joseph turned away from the Crown Inn

But the Pipcott Inn found room for them in the stables

The Angel Gabriel told the shepherds to go to Bethlehem

The Wise Men followed star

to Herod's palace

and then to the stable

where they presented the baby with gifts of gold, frankincense & myrrh

 

Besides the more traditional services of Carols by Candlelight, Midnight & Christmas morning Holy Communion, Christmas Eve saw  a birthday party in the Church - it was Jesus's birthday.
