St. Christopher Episcopal Church’s live nativity scene is a holiday staple in Springfield
Over on Hanover Street, St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church continued their annual tradition of hosting the Holy Family’s nativity of Jesus on their lawn, surrounded by several friendly animals. The Leuthy’s played the major family roles again this year, with three-year-old Nicholas filling in as infant Jesus. Organizers explained that the congregation’s two infant members were out of town; though no one seemed to notice Nicholas might have aged out of the part.
Moses the camel was the mainstay of the animal contingent for the event. Moses fit in without a hitch and entertained with smiles for selfies. He also was filling in for another player this year, camel Delilah. Delilah was busy smiling at another park. Moses’ smile and camera posing proved equally engaging. Who can’t be melted by toothy camel grin?
