Everyone is invited to the 21st edition of The Living Christmas Story, a drive-through pageant presented by the members of Union Methodist Church in Irmo. The 200 cast members and live animals bring the 18 scenes in the 1/4 mile drive to life. The pageant includes traditional scenes from the Bible such as Gabriel's visit to Mary, the angels' message to the shepherds, the Wise Men's visit with Herod, and the stable where the Christ child was born.
