It borrows from the idea of commemorating Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem from Spanish and Mexican traditions and makes it special to Brigg.
The journey will start with a procession at the Brigg Christmas Fair tonight (Friday, 4th December) and ends on Christmas Eve in St John's Church when a Carol Service will take place that evening.
Figures of Mary and Joseph will be hosted at various resting places provided by the community and businesses.
Once the figures of Mary and Joseph move on to their next resting place, a figure of an Angel will be left in its place as a symbol of the visitation.
The Brigg Town Business Partnership would like to give special thanks to Andrew Ballard of Brigg Churches Together.
