Bethlehem, Church Of The Nativity



Sadly our visit to Bethlehem came at the end of a very bust day and it was already getting late when we arrived there. Manger Square was heaving with coaches, as you would expect at the supposed birth place of Jesus Christ. The interior of the church was far too dark for video which is why I have no footage of the actual 'spot' where the manger is said to have stood. The thing about most of the Christian places is they are highly unlikely to have been the 'real spots'. Instead they have become associated with events in the life of Christ way after his death. However, these places are still very special because of the weight of history behind them.
