Our Characters

The Stars of the Story

Scroll across to see who's in the Nativity story and then click/tap to read more about them, and how they fit into the big picture! We recommend starting with Isaiah & Micah (The Prophets) and working your way through, so you can read the story in order. You can even navigate through the accounts of the characters from the top/bottom of each page.

Isaiah & Micah
Prophets

These guys knew The Saviour was coming before any of us!

Roman Centurion
Officer

Told everyone to travel to their home-towns for the census.

Mary & Joseph
Parents

No introduction needed... A pretty famous couple!

Wise Men
Eastern Nobles

3 "kings" who followed the star to the King of Kings.

Shepherds & Angels
From the heavens to the hills

Everyday shepherds who had an encounter with a host of angels!

What is The Big Nativity Trail?

A morning of Christmas cheer, festive feelings and happy hunting! Follow the guides around the trail and see if you can find the 5 scenes from the Christmas story. Along the way you should be able to spot:

  • The Middle Eastern Prophets who knew that Jesus was coming
  • The Roman Centurion
  • Mary, Joseph & Jesus
  • The Wise Men
  • The Angels & Shepherds

The Big Nativity Trail is hosted by Living Rock Church and run by volunteers - everyone from those serving refreshments, those manning the car park, those running crafts and even those acting on the streets! We want you to be blessed this Christmas and to have loads of fun whilst learning more about the Nativity story.
