This morning I went to Bethlehem to visit the Church of the Nativity. Well yes I carry forward in Advent ..
The door you see (is high nenache a meter) is not a secondary entrance or cellar but the entrance of the Church of the Nativity. It was built as to prevent the invading Persians in the seventh century could not come with their camels to destroy it.
altar from the nave under the Orthodox, there is a small door with stairs leading to a small chapel / underground cave where you can breathe a strong smell of incense and the temperature is much higher for the effect of the numerous candles.
The manger where Jesus was laid after birth ..
E 'was a great experience one of the most important of the Earth is in a small cave from the ceiling blackened by the candles and incense. It 's true that the smallest things in the most beautiful things are born. There it all began:
From the Gospel according to Luke: [1] In those days a decree from Caesar Augustus ordered that a census should be of the whole earth. [2] This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria. [3] all went to be enrolled, each to his city. [4] Even Joseph, who was of the house and lineage of David, from the town of Nazareth in Galilee for Judaea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, [5] to be enrolled with Mary his wife, she was pregnant. [6] And while they were there, the time came for her to be delivered. [7] she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the.
