La Natividad
The Nativity Story According to
St. Matthew and St. Luke

La Historia de Navidad
de Acuerdo a San Mateo y San Lucas

“En el nombre del cielo pedimos posada...”
“In the name of heaven we ask for a place to stay...”

In the Heart of the Beast is taking the Nativity story to the streets!

Come experience the Christmas Story as you’ve never done before. The story of the holy child being born in our midst – here in Midtown Minneapolis.
This unique holiday show combines street theatre, puppetry and a torch-lit procession based on the Mexican tradition of Las Posadas. And you'll be part of the action!
Audiences will move with the performers among three different locations:

First, meet “Maria and José” in the Mercado Central.
Across the street in the Avalon Theatre, you’ll discover shepherds and star-seekers.
Then, in a colorful torch-lit procession, follow Maria & José as they look for refuge down 15th Avenue to St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church, where all will be welcomed for the Nativity.
Finally, join the fiesta in St Paul’s Fellowship Hall - complete with music and snacks.
Told with HOBT’s signature visual beauty and soulful live music, “La Natividad” will be an utterly unique community celebration.

Presented in partnership with St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church and Mercado Central.
