Our Lady of Bethlehem
Belén, Palestina
The city where Jesus was born, accompanied by the Virgin Mary.
In Bethlehem, the city where Jesus was born, is the Basilica of Nativity, one of the oldest shrines of Christianity. The Virgin Mary was present at the birth of Jesus.
The birth of Jesus
According to the Gospel of Luke, Mary and Joseph came to Bethlehem for the census. As there was no place in the inn, Jesus was born in a manger. The shepherds were the first to worship the child.
The Basilica of Nativity was built in the fourth century by the Emperor Constantine. It is one of the most sacred places in Christianity.
