Bethlehem: The City of Jesus' Birth
A Nurturing Landscape
Nestled amidst the rolling hills of the central West Bank, Bethlehem is a city steeped in rich history and religious significance. Just a scant 9 kilometers south of the bustling city of Jerusalem, Bethlehem holds a special place in Christian tradition as the birthplace of Jesus Christ.
A Living Nativity
Throughout the centuries, Bethlehem has been a place of pilgrimage for Christians who seek to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. At the heart of the city lies the Church of the Nativity, believed to be built on the site where Jesus was born. Inside the church, visitors can descend into a subterranean grotto where a silver star marks the spot where Jesus is said to have been born.
