Bethlehem (Palestinian territories) - Wink Travel Guide

The "little town" of Bethlehem, mentioned in any number of Christmas carols, attracts pilgrims worldwide on account of its description in the New Testament as the birthplace of Jesus, whom Christians believe to be Messiah and Son of God.

The Church of the Nativity, one of the oldest churches in the world, is the focus of Christian veneration within the city.

The Bethlehem agglomeration also includes the small towns of Beit Jala and Beit Sahour, the latter also having biblical significance.
