Take a Journey through Bethlehem

As you enter the city of Bethlehem allow the sights, sounds, and smells to carry you to a period of time that changed the world. Expect to be met by Roman soldiers and counted in the census. Journey through the heart of the city to the marketplace that is bustling with activity from over a dozen authentic shops and listen for the rumor of a “king’s” birth from excited townspeople. Continue your journey to the Nativity where a very special baby was born in a stable. Here you can reflect on the blessed birth of Christ – the greatest gift that has ever been given.
