Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity, the heart of pilgrimage

The **Church of the Nativity** in Bethlehem is a must-visit destination for anyone on a pilgrimage. The entrance is very low, requiring visitors to bow as they enter, which feels like a symbolic gesture of humility, making the moment quite solemn. 🙏 This church, built in the 4th century, carries the weight of history, yet its interior is remarkably well-maintained. The Eastern-style altar is both ornate and antique, and the most notable spot is the area marked with a silver star, signifying the birthplace of Jesus. Standing before the star embedded in the floor, I couldn't help but feel deeply moved, thinking, "This is truly the place." 🌟 The church is always bustling with tourists and pilgrims, but it exudes a strong sense of being a religious site rather than just a historical landmark. Experiencing the traces of faith that have persisted for over a thousand years is an indescribable and profound feeling. 📍 Address: P635+P2C, Bethlehem, West Bank, Palestine
