| Church of the Nativity Album |

| Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. The church is built over the birthplace of Jesus. |
| The actual site of the birth of Jesus. |
| The Church of the Nativity had a very small entrance to get in. This is to stop Muslims from riding their horses into the church. |
| The walls of the church were plastered over when the Muslims occupied the church. Some work has removed the plaster to show the beautiful art that was originally the walls of the church. |
| The site of the birth of Jesus is in the lower level of the church. It was surrounded by a cloth. |
| Joanne kneels and says a prayer of thanks for all our blessings. |
