Church of the Nativity
Looking one way towards the church...
... and the other way towards the Mosque, where Friday prayers were still going on and large numbers of men were standing around outside listening to the sermon over the loudspeakers.
Entering through the famously low door way through which one has to stoop (although note the size of two earlier doorways)...
... and finding oneself inside the oldest church in continuous use in the country.
Being reminded of the place Bethlehem has also in the story of David...
... and of Ruth.
