Bethlehem is an unincorporated community in Henry County, Kentucky, United States. This rural community, formerly known as Mobley Stand, is centered at the intersection of Kentucky Highways 22 and 573.[1] Bethlehem is best known for its annual Living Nativity,[2] celebrated on December 22–25 from 6:30–9:00 pm. The event is a collaborative effort of three local Christian churches (Bethlehem Baptist, Bethlehem Methodist, and Point Pleasant Christian). The Bethlehem post office (ZIP code 40007) offers a special postmark during the Christmas season. Each December, people from many surrounding communities, and occasionally from other states, bring their holiday cards to receive the Bethlehem postmark.[3] In 1996, a segment of the CBS Evening News featured Bethlehem's Christmas traditions. Local and national television and periodicals have also covered this community tradition.[4] [5] [6]
