THE Christmas story is set to take on a particularly lifelike appearance today when a donkey comes to Cornmarket Street, Oxford.
It is hoped that families will stop to meet donkey Pollyanne, and learn more about Mary's journey to Bethlehem on a donkey when she was pregnant with baby Jesus.
Polyanne will be in the street from 3pm and will make her way to St Michael at the Northgate Church, where children will take part in a retelling of the Christmas story.
Children of all ages are welcome to take part in the event and will each receive a small gift.
