Holidays 2013: “The Journey” interactive Christmas story @ Savannah Christian Church begins Dec. 4

Thursday, November 7th, 2013

Holiday Events: Journey 2013 at Savannah Christian Church

THE JOURNEY

Experience life the night Christmas began
Wednesday – Sunday, Dec. 4-8 and 11-15 2013
Savannah Christian Church
55 Al Henderson Blvd., Savannah, GA 31419

Tickets – $5 each with $20 family maximum – available online here .
Discounts available for groups and for military, fire fighters, police and first-responders. More information here.

The Journey, which draws tens of thousands from across the Southeast, is all-new this December. Step back centuries in time to experience life the night Jesus was born. See prophecies foretold. Enter the gates of ancient Bethlehem. Follow the shepherds to find a baby lying in a manger. Let the wonder of the season come to life in that star-lit stable.

Hundreds of costumed volunteers bring to life this outdoor production that Savannah Christian Church has hosted since 1998. In 2013 The Journey is all-new, completely re-imagined. Volunteers are building a new walled town of Bethlehem. Streets will be lined with a bakery, cloth and jewelry shops, vegetable and spice stands, an inn, tannery and blacksmith shops. Live animals – camels at the tent of the Wise Men, lions at Herod’s place, and sheep, goats, geese and more outside of Bethlehem – will further enliven the experience.

Savannah Christian Church is rebuilding this year to create an even more authentic experience – as if you stepped back in time to an ancient Middle Eastern town. They’re also making room for even more visitors.
