More Photos - Bethlehem

At the "shepherds' fields" -where they were keeping watch of their flocks by night, when suddenly...well, you know the story!

Inside the shepherds' cave...

I just thought this seemed rather peaceful, on the grounds of that same Church in the Shepherds Fields.



You probably don't need to be a Latin scholar to figure this one out..."and on earth, peace, good will, to all hominibus (men AND women!)



The Greek section of the Church of the Nativity in Bethelehem. I was again reminded of how different eastern (Orthodox) Christianity is from western Christianity.


The Roman (or "Latin") Catholic altar at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem.



I may have already posted this one, the traditional site of "our dear savior's birth" at the Church of the Nativity, Bethlehem.



Outside of the Church of the Nativity.


O little town of Bethelehem, how still we see thee lie...



Yes, you've seen these guys before...the wisemen from the west who came to Bethlehem to pay homage.
