Yesterday was the last of the twelve days of Christmas, but today is the Day of Epiphany, commemorating the visit of the Wise Men to the Baby Jesus in Bethlehem. So I think one more Christmas-themed post is appropriate.
Mary and Joseph on the way to Bethlehem. Opryland Hotel, Nashville, Tennessee. December 19, 2013.
On December 19 Betsy and I visited the Opryland Hotel in Nashville with my daughter Kelly and her husband Chuck. One of the attractions at the hotel this time of year is a Nativity Scene with life-sized figurines.
Wise men, angels and shepherds gathered around the manger. Opryland Hotel, Nashville, Tennessee. December 19, 2013.
When we first saw this display many years ago, it was set up in a courtyard between two wings of the hotel. Now it’s set up in front of the hotel. While that gave more room for a large stable and manger, it definitely tied up traffic. Fortunately there were officers to direct traffic.

If you’re ever in Nashville during the holiday season, I think you’ll enjoy seeing the Opryland Hotel, especially at night.
There are many other beautiful decorations at the hotel, but I’ll probably save those for another holiday season.
