Queen of the Holy Rosary Parish, Wea, held its annual “Living Nativity” on Dec. 9 on the parish grounds. The re-enactors were all seventh and eighth grade students at Queen of the Holy Rosary School. All animals belong to school teachers, families or parishioners.

Earl the donkey plays his part to perfection in the “Living Nativity.” Earl had a lot to say about that night the Savior was born.
