Surrounded by ancient walls, the Old City is home to holy sites such as the Western Wall, Dome of the Rock Islamic shrine, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which dates to the 4th century.
Next stop was Bethlehem with just a quick stop at the Church of the Nativity (Geburtskirche). It's the church in Bethlehem that was built over the presumed birthplace of Jesus Christ.
Beautiful mass to end the day
The church was built over the site of the nativity to preserve the location. Helena, mother of Constantine made this her mission.
I don't think this was quite the way it was when Mary and Joseph traveled here...LOL
Gestern Kreuzweg und Grabeskirche, heute Geburtskirche und Milch-Grote. Den Weg von Jesus haben wir in Rekordzeit absolviert, wenn auch in falscher Reihenfolge...
