Lula Belle the camel was dropped from the cast after she fell into occupied pews during a dress rehearsal for Friday night's premiere of a West Palm Beach, Florida, Christmas concert. The incident occurred on Thursday night at First Baptist Church of West Palm Beach.
No one was injured in the incident, including the church member atop the camel who was portraying one of the Three Kings, and the camel itself, said worship leader and show producer Chuck Lewis. "He is absolutely A-OK."
"This is an unusual fluke," Lewis said, adding that the church has used live animals in previous shows. "We're thankful no one was hurt."
Animals used in the church's annual Christmas productions are professionally trained and safety is paramount, the pastor said. Two sheep and two lambs will remain in the weekend production.
