Happy Holidays- Bethlehem

Bethlehem Region, November 2005. Photo by: Shabtai Gold.

 

An ancient Christian church/convent (been around for about 1,500 years in one form or another) on the outskirts of Bethlehem, not far from the Sheperds' Fields- a place of great importance to religious Christians and many others. See:

In this area is also located the Field of Ruth, mentioned in the Old Testament (take a guess where... the Book of Ruth).
