Nearly 20 young volunteers reenacted a live Nativity scene for drivers-by at Precious Blood Church in Culpeper Dec. 20, braving the night air to portray Mary, Joseph, an angel, shepherds and the three Wise Men.

 

Farm animals including a cow and sheep completed the scene, contentedly munching on hay during the two-hour event.

 

Some 150 cars passed through during the inaugural event, organized by Kelly Bennett, coordinator of youth ministry and adult evangelization.
