TROY \u2013<\/b> First Baptist dialed back two millennia Dec. 9-10 to give people a sense of what the first Christmas was like.<\/span><\/p>\n For the 10th year, the church held a \u201cJourney to Bethlehem\u201d event where more than a thousand people attended. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s an outside walk-through of the night of Bethlehem. We had stations with King Herod and the wisemen, the Roman soldiers who are intimidating, the rabbis and their prophecies, the shepherds and angels, the market place, the inn where there was no room, and the manger,\u201d explained Diane Campbell, co-coordinator of the church event said.<\/span><\/p>\n Groups of 30 people left on their \u2018journey\u2019 to the various stops every five minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n
