The Christmas story

Clockwise from top: Mary and Joseph, portrayed by Diana Graver, Navesink, and Andy Walsh, Middletown, tend to the infant Jesus as part of a re-enactment of the Nativity story at All Saints Memorial Church in the Highlands on Dec. 11. Jeff Pippin, Highlands, narrates the story of the Nativity, told with actors and live animals on the grounds of All Saints, known as the Stone Church, in the Navesink section of Middletown. Susan Johansson, Holmdel, puts the finishing touches on a head wrap for Ian Johansson, who portrayed a shepherd in the live Nativity. PHOTOS BY CHRIS KELLY staff
