Bethlehem







Inside the Church of the Nativity


The traditional site for the birth of Jesus. Here pilgrims bow down and reach their hand into the hole in the ground, so as to touch the rock on which Jesus was born.

Golgotha and the Garden Tomb


One of the two traditional sites where Jesus is thought to have been crucified. (On the skull-shaped hill, not in the bus parking lot.)


One potential site for the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, where Jesus' body was taken.
