Bethlehem - 2009 Vacation Part 10

We have visited the Church of Nativity in Bethlehem. Bethlehem is under the Palestinian control so our tour guide from Jerusalem had to leave the bus before the gate. A new tour guide was with us in Bethlehem.
Entrance to the Church of Nativity. Door is built low and small to prevent donkeys from getting in.
Inside of the church. We were all waiting in line to see the birth place of Jesus.
