Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Bethlehem

"The city of Bethlehem has great significance for all Christians, as it was the birthplace of Jesus. It lies about 10 km (6 mi) south of Jerusalem, standing at an elevation of about 765 m (2,510 ft) above the sea, thus 30 m (100 ft) higher than Jerusalem. The Church of the Nativity, built by Constantine the Great (330 AD), stands in the centre of Bethlehem over a grotto or cave called the Holy Crypt, which according to Christian tradition is the place where Jesus was born. This is perhaps the oldest existing Christian church in the world." From Wikipedia. Scanned from an old photo I took in April 1967.
