We’ve been talking about my three-year Christmas trip these days (interested friends can read the previous one). 2020, the least lively Christmas is over, so our series of stories should be close, this is the last of the season's "I'm here for Christmas" series, so I chose the Christmas Church in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, to talk to everyone! The origin of Bethlehem Christmas Church was built on the site of the "Birth of Jesus in the Manger" written in Matthew, one of the four Gospels! As you stand on the manger square in the center of Bethlehem you can see the castle-like Christmas church (picture 2 is the exterior of the 19-year renovation, while pictures 16 and 17 were taken during the 2017 and 18 maintenance work, respectively), the church is not familiar from the outside The tall and magnificent appearance, because after various periods of construction and expansion and transformation formed such a special fortress style, the church has no gates and only a small stone gate of one meter high (Figure 3) for people to enter and exit, this is the famous "door of humility" The moral is to bow down and lean down, no matter what your status is as a beggar or an emperor coming to this place to worship Jesus. In fact, the gate was preserved because of the temporary entrances and exits left by the Palestinians when they blocked the church gate with stones after the Crusades occupied Bethlehem! Entering the church is dim and candlelight swaying. Walking up to the end of the hall is the main altar of the church, which is gorgeous and redundant, with a string of antique chandeliers hanging in the air (Figure 4). To the right of the main altar is a stone gate similar to the "gate of humility", leaning down to the Christmas hole (also known as the Star Cave of Bethlehem), which is the Mahd Cave, the birthplace of Jesus, recorded in Matthew. Bethlehem Star Cave (Figure 5, 6, 7) is narrow and curved and dark and mysterious. It is only found that the Star Cave is very small, the hole is12.3 meters long and3.15 meters wide. A low, semicircular marble wall can be seen on the right side of the stone stepsthis is the altar, the first half depicts the birth of Jesus after Mary’s inspiration, and the second half uses silk-covered tents (which are replaced each Christmas, So you can see the difference from my photos of different years) surrounded by the "Bethlehem Star", 15 long oil lamps from various Christian schools around the star hole, in the Latin engraved on the "Bethlehem Star": "Here is the birth of Jesus Christ." This small place is a sacred corner that affects more than a billion believers! As for his birthday, that is, today's Christmas, there are various opinions, it is said that in 386 AD the Church unified December 25 as Christmas anniversary, it is puzzled that the AD law was confirmed in 528, is the year of the birth of Jesus as the first year of the first year, the first birthday date, The later years are amazing. Orthodox Christians have traditionally calculated Christmas Day in older Julians, so Orthodox Christians later set January 7 as Christmas!
