 Halewood Pillar Box Nativity Trail - From 10 December 2021

Our knitted pillar box toppers are a new way of telling the Christmas Story. We hope you will enjoy following the trail and reading the stories of the birth of Jesus, God’s son, sent to be the Saviour of the world.

1. Shops on Wood Road- Mary and the Angel (Luke 1: 26-38)

God sent the Angel Gabriel to Mary in Nazareth to tell her that she would have a baby who would be God’s son. Mary was very worried about this as she wasn’t yet married. Gabriel explained how God would make this would happen. Mary said that she would obey God’s will.

2. Outside Halewood Library and Health Centre- Joseph and the Angel (Matt 1: 18-24)

Joseph, Mary’s fiancé was not best pleased when he found out Mary was expecting a baby, as he knew he wasn’t the father. He was going to quietly break off their engagement but God sent his Angel to Joseph, in a dream. The Angel told Joseph this was all part of God’s plan and so Joseph went ahead and married Mary.

3. St Mark’s Church Leathers Lane- The Road to Bethlehem (Luke 2:1-5)

Israel, the country, in which Mary and Joseph lived was part of the Roman Empire. The Emperor Augustus had ordered a census to be taken and people had to return to the place they came from to register. Joseph came from Bethlehem and so he and Mary set off from Nazareth to Bethlehem, a journey of about 70 miles. It was very near the time when Mary was due to have her baby.

4. By Convenience Shop on Bailey’s Lane-  The Shepherds and the Angels (Luke 2: 8-20)

Meanwhile, during the night, on the hills outside Bethlehem, a group of shepherds were guarding their sheep. Suddenly, the sky was filled with light and God’s Angel appeared to them telling them that down in Bethlehem town, God’s son, the Messiah, the Saviour of the world had been born. The angel told them exactly how to find the baby. They were gobsmacked! Then more and more angels appeared, singing praises to God. The shepherds dropped everything and rushed down to Bethlehem where they found Mary, Joseph and the baby just as the Angel had told them 

 
5. Hollies Road / Rutland Avenue opposite Plantation School- Laid in a Manger (Luke 2:6-7)

When Mary and Joseph had arrived in Bethlehem, they found that there was no room for them to stay in the inn. So when Mary gave birth to her baby son she wrapped him in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, a feeding trough for animals.

 
6. Okell Drive by Bus Stop opposite Torcross Way- The Wise Men (Matt 2: 1-12)

Hundreds of miles away to the east some learned men had been studying the heavens, when a bright star appeared. They knew that this meant that something very important was happening related to the birth of a great King and so they set off on a journey to find Him, following the star that would lead them to him. On the way, they made a mistake, thinking that such a great King would be born in Jerusalem but after meeting King Herod, who was not at all happy to hear what they were telling him, they eventually got back on track, led by the star and found Mary and Joseph and their young son, Jesus. They knelt down and worshipped him and presented the gifts they had brought: Gold; Frankincense and Myrrh. Worried about what Herod might do if he found the child they went back home by another route.
