Bethlehem - the birthplace of King David and the birthplace of Christ
The most important and precious shrine of the city is the cave in which the baby Jesus was born. Above the cave is the Church of the Nativity of Christ - the most ancient temple of Palestine.
The temple on the site of the Nativity of Christ was erected by order of Emperor Constantine the Great.
