Holy Walk Through Bethlehem | December 1 & 2
Holy Walk through Bethlehem is a re-enactment of Our Lord’s Nativity. St. Mark’s held their first Holy Walk through Bethlehem in December 1999. The Walk was developed by drawing upon similar events held at Homer UMC in Michigan and Simpsonwood UMC in Georgia. In 1999, the St. Mark’s Holy Walk through Bethlehem hosted nearly 1500 visitors during its two nights. Each year, we host between 2,000 and 3,000 visitors. Holy Walk is our biggest community outreach event and requires over 200 volunteers. Questions? Please feel free to email holywalk@stmarkscarmel.org.
