Entering Palestine. The world beyond the wall.

This was my first time entering the Palestinian area, which Israel has made an autonomous region of. I entered the country by passing through the checkpoint on the Jerusalem side of the huge wall known as the Wall of Separation. It was like a completely different world from the Israeli side of Jerusalem. The atmosphere, the smell, even the clothes people wear are completely different. Just a short distance from the checkpoint, there is the Banksy Hotel and Banksy's mural art, so I went to see them. After that, I went to the World Heritage Site, the headquarters of Christ, the Church of the Nativity, where Jesus Christ was born. I'm not sure if this is the right way to express it, but I think it was definitely worth coming. #Palestine #Banksy #Bethlehem #MuralTour #ChurchoftheNativity #Christianity #WorldHeritage #Pilgrimage #ChurchoftheNativity

Bethlehem, located in the West Bank of Palestine, is a city with a rich history and many cultural and religious attractions. Here are some things to do in Bethlehem, Palestine ✨Visit the Church of the Nativity: This ancient church, built over the site where Jesus is believed to have been born, is one of the most important religious sites in the world. It features stunning mosaics, frescoes, and ancient artefacts. ✨Walk through Manger Square: This central square in Bethlehem is home to several important religious and cultural landmarks, including the Church of the Nativity, the Mosque of Omar, and the Palestinian Heritage Center. ✨Explore the Old City: The old city of Bethlehem features narrow streets and alleys lined with traditional stone houses and shops selling handmade crafts and souvenirs. ✨Visit the Milk Grotto: This small chapel, located near the Church of the Nativity, is believed to be the site where the Holy Family sought refuge during the Massacre of the Innocents. It is also said to have healing powers for infertility. ✨See the Separation Wall: This controversial wall, built by Israel in the early 2000s, divides Bethlehem from nearby Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank.
