Sanctuary Bethlehem

Sanctuary of Bethlehem in Bethlehem. It has been described as a true fairy tale – with good reason. To get a decent grip of the history of Bethlehem, the Sanctuary is the perfect place to visit. It has some unique and wonderful aspects. The interior of the church, for example, has been miraculously preserved since the sixth century. As such, it has maintained some of its ancient and astounding features. When first built, the current Byzantine emperor accused the architect of having squandered the money, and had the poor man beheaded. But don’t let that put you off.
