"Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord".
Luke 2:10-11
Come Experience Bethlehem and the wonder of Jesus’ birth—together.
The Nativity story is the pivotal moment in human history—the moment when God stepped into our world in human form, fulfilling His plan of salvation. Everything about the human experience was forever changed that night in Bethlehem.
Have you ever wondered what it was like for Mary and Joseph as they traveled the countryside to register for the census? Or how heavy the weight of Roman rule felt for the Jewish people at the time? Imagine the awe of the shepherds as angels declared the good news, or the quiet peace of Christ’s presence in a humble manger surrounded by animals.
Journey to Bethlehem (J2B) is a live, interactive experience hosted at AAAC each December that brings this sacred story to life. Over 300 costumed actors, live animals, and a recreated city of Bethlehem immerse you in the sights and sounds of the first Christmas. Guided through a scripted journey, you’ll encounter characters such as King Herod, the wise men, Elizabeth, and Zechariah. You’ll wander through a bustling marketplace, feel the tension of Roman rule as taxes are collected, hear the angels’ proclamation to the shepherds, and ultimately arrive at the manger to meet the Messiah.
For more than 15 years, J2B has been a beloved tradition in the Auburn community—not just as a festive event, but as a powerful reminder of the true miracle of Christmas.
Come experience Bethlehem with us this year. Tickets go on sale in early October.
