Bethlehem at night

Tuesday 7th February

We went for a walk into Bethlehem, down to Manger Square for a drink and I took a few night photos.

The main door of the Church of the Nativity - it is very small so you have to stoop to enter.
It is called the Door of Humility and is a small rectangular entrance to the church created in Ottoman times to prevent carts being driven in by looters, and to force even the most important visitor to dismount from his horse as he entered the holy place. The doorway was reduced from an earlier Crusader doorway, the pointed arch of which can still be seen above the current door.
