Mountain Brook Baptist Living Nativity returns

Live sheep, donkeys and camels will return for the 51st annual Living Nativity at Mountain Brook Baptist Church.

The event began in 1963 and has become a tradition for many Mountain Brook residents. The participants act out the second chapter of Luke while a recorded narration is playing. Dotson Nelson, a preacher at MBBC in the 1970s, performed the narration that is still used today.

This year’s Living Nativity will take place on Dec. 21, 22 and 23 at 6:45 p.m., 7:30 p.m. and 8:15 p.m.
