Jerusalem & Bethlehem
Mary's Birthplace
Church over the Birthplace of the Virgin Mary
Jesus' Birthplace
Church in Bethlehem where Jesus was born.
To my surprise the stable where Jesus was born, which is inside this church, is a cave. It appears that it was common to keep the animals in a cave for shelter. The entry we used into the church is a small hole in the wall.
The Virgin Mary
Statue of the Virgin Mary adorns a courtyard over the church.
