Bethlehem is the city where Christians believe Jesus was born, and the Church of the Nativity was built on the very site. Not much to look at from the outside, but very holy to Christians.
The church has been rebuilt over the years with the effect of raising the floor, so to see the site of Jesus' birth you go down into an underground grotto.
This sixteen-pointed cross marks the spot where Jesus was said to have been born ...
... and nearby is the spot where the manger was said to be. Not sure how they know this, but to believers that doesn't matter.
