St. Christopher's Episcopal Church in Springfield, locally nicknamed “the camel church” held its 5th Annual Living Nativity on Saturday, Dec. 9.   Described by Reverend Elvira Beracochea as “both reverent and fun,” the event recreates the birth of Jesus with music, readings and costumed actors. Rev. Beracochea also says it “gives people of all ages, faiths, ethnicities, and whatever other human distinctions there may be, the opportunity to be kissed by a camel, pet a donkey, and be nibbled on by a goat.” 

That’s likely a suitable celebration for a 2,300 year birthday.
