St. Mark's Church To Host Living Nativity On Dec. 16

CITRUS PARK, FL -- This holiday season, St. Mark’s Episcopal Church will hold its second annual Live Drive-Through Nativity from 6 to 8 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 16, on the church grounds at the corner of Gunn Highway and Cain Road in Citrus Park.

Each car can enter from Cain Road and follow the luminarias as they light the path through eight scenes that depict and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ including “The Angel appears to Mary,” “A Manger Scene with Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus” and “The Wise Men Appear offering gifts.”

All stations include live actors in colorful costumes depicting each scene.

"It will take each car about 10 minutes to complete all the scenes and provide a brief respite from the hectic holiday schedule," said organizer Beth Ries.

Hot chocolate, cookies and a special invitation to attend regular and Christmas church services will be presented at the end.

Admission is free and all are invited to attend.

The event was originally scheduled for last Sunday but was rescheduled due to rainy weather.
