The spirit of Christmas was revealed Dec. 12 at the fourth annual live Nativity display at Christ Church Parish (Episcopal) in Christchurch. It featured no tinsel and no wrapping paper. The only gifts were the ones brought by the Magi to the Baby Jesus.
The sounds were Christmas carols being sung by the bonfire, the animals in the manger and the words of the Magi explaining their journey and gifts.
Many thanks to River Bend Farm for bringing its magnificent Friesian/Lacaune sheep. Those who attended enjoyed feeding the sheep and learning about their breed.
