Bethlehem - Shepherds Field

That is a wall that surrounds Bethlehem.  It is Palestinian territory so we had to drive through a check point.  
Shepherds Field where the Magi saw the Star

A bathing hole where one would go to purify themselves before going to Jerusalem for Holy Days.
An entry into a chapel that was formerly a cave/ shelter for herders and their livestock.

A painting of the Nativity inside the church
The altar
Maria bought a sheik hat!
