In an article published by The Journal, Trinity Episcopal Church in Shepherdstown celebrated the 20th anniversary of its live nativity, pioneered by George Alwin in 2004. Alwin drew inspiration from the church’s central location and aimed to create a high-quality production to embody the spirit of Christmas. The event occurs on the two Saturdays following Thanksgiving, providing a fulfilling experience for community members who participate in various roles. Over the years, the live nativity has seen significant improvements in costumes and production quality, reflecting a commitment to keeping the essence of Christmas alive. New pastor, Rev. Gethin Wied, emphasized the importance of this tradition within the community.
