JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – It was a Christmas experience unlike any other.
The Living Nativity at Westside Baptist Church in Jacksonville was back this past weekend. The drive-thru event offered locals a look inside Bethlehem on the night Jesus was born.
Digital Producer Marcela Camargo got a behind-the-scenes look at the more than 300 volunteers and 30 animals that made the event happen.
Unfortunately, this free community event had to be cut short due to severe weather on Sunday night, which is typically their busiest day, according to organizers.
