Be picked up and drive to Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus Christ and childhood home of David. Upon arrival, we walk through Manger Square at the heart of the city, and visit the Church of the Nativity. This somewhat unassuming establishment is built on the spot where Jesus is said to have been born.

After touring the church move on to the Milk Grotto, where the Holy Family is said to have taken refuge during the Massacre of the Innocents. The tour of the city also includes a visit to the shepherd’s field, one similar to that which Joseph would have worked. Before leaving Bethlehem, there’s time to visit one of the many souvenir shops, which specialize in everything from jewelry and ceramics to pendants and olive wood carvings. With the half day tour at a close, return to Jerusalem.
