Event Title: Apostolic Clock operating
Date: 12/4/2010
Description:

In celebration of Christkindlmarkt, The Hershey Story's historic and beloved 132-year-old Apostolic Clock will be operating on December 4 and 5.

The clock, completed by John Fiester in 1878, took 11 years to build and was proclaimed the “9th Wonder of the World.”  At quarter of each hour, several mechanical figures, including Christ and his twelve apostles, appear to tell the story of the betrayal of Christ.
 
The mechanical figures will appear fifteen minutes before each hour, starting at 9:45 a.m. and continuing through 4:45 p.m.
