What is Walk To Bethlehem?

Walk To Bethlehem is a theatrical excursion back to the time just before Christ’s birth, two-thousand years ago. You will be escorted through Bethlehem by one of our friendly guides, who will protect you from Roman soldiers, beggars and thieves. You will meet Shepherds, Wiseman, and even Angels before finding the Baby Jesus in the Manger.

After what we hope will be a pleasurable visit to Bethlehem, you will return to the twenty first century where you will enjoy homemade Christmas goodies, chat with some of the cast, and listen to Christmas Carols. Last years “walk” was presented to an audience of over three thousand.

We hope you will be able to join us again this year and anticipate Walk To Bethlehem will become part of your family’s Christmas tradition, each and every year.

4. Can I make reservations?

Sorry not this year.  We have in previous years taken reservations, but due to popularity of this event, it is just not feasible to reserve times.  If you are a large group, we suggest you arrive early, and choose the first weekend to Walk To Bethlehem rather than the last.

5. How should I dress?

This is an outdoor event so dress warmly; it is frequently quite cold in Bethlehem at this time of year. Also wear comfortable shoes, as the terrain is uneven.

6. What type of a reception will I get when I arrive in Bethlehem?

You will be warmly received by the residents of Bethlehem, but some of the Roman Soldiers can be outright hostile, so stick closely to your guide. Once you return to the 21st century you will enjoy refreshments, listen to Christmas music, and chat with some of our cast.

7. What is the history of “Walk To Bethlehem?”

Walk To Bethlehem is a concept brought to our church by a congregation family from Ontario. Under the direction of Jane Pateridis a production team was assembled and a “St-Lazare - Hudson Walk” was born.

The Walk is presented as a Christmas gift to our community and has been well received from the beginning. We expected the first “Walk” to draw 1,000 visitors, this number was surpassed in 2005. Our last Walk in 2008 we had over 3000 guests visit Bethlehem.

We certainly hope you will join us and make Walk To Bethlehem a traditional part of your family’s Christmas celebrations.

8. Who plans, sets up, and runs Bethlehem Walk?

There is a production team that works from August onwards, planning and preparing. By opening night over one hundred church members, cast, crew and support will participate in this year’s event.

Bethlehem is constructed over a one month period starting in October. Dozens of people contribute to the construction of the set., and without  all the volunteer help it would not be possible. The cast has been rehearsing since September, and are thrilled and excited to “get the show on the road”.

9. How can I help with Bethlehem Walk?
