CRANBURY — A few biblical figures will make their appearance on Main Street on Sunday for Cranbury’s biennial Nativity pageant, a re-enactment of the first Christmas, compliments of the First Presbyterian Church of Cranbury.

The event starts with the parishioners traveling down Main Street, first as angels, then shepherds, followed by Joseph leading Mary, complete with donkey and finally, the trailing wise men, said Virginia Swanagan, a pageant volunteer.

A procession will begin at 3:30 p.m. on 82 N. Main St., stop for a moment at the Cranbury Inn, then end at the First Presbyterian Church of Cranbury.
