First built in the fourth century, the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem is one of the most ancient and significant holy sites in the world. It stands on the site where Jesus Christ was born and shines its light throughout Christendom like the star above the manger. In this essay, David Rapp relates the history of the church, explains its religious importance, and describes its many artistic and cultural treasures.
