Bethlehem. The bright cross shaped Church of the Nativity dominates Manger Square, the site of the birth of Jesus Christ. “The most sacred place on earth”, as St. Jerome wrote. On the right stands the Church of St. Catherine with its red-tiled roof.

I had never seen a photo of Bethlehem before, much less an aerial photo. Very cool. Would like to visit there.
I’d like to go one day as well. Then maybe I can come back with pictures of my own!
