Bethlehem--the shepherds'

Bethlehem is on occupied territory so we were told to bring our passports and that our Israeli guide would be unable to go with us. We would have an Arab guide, Issi.


Our first stop was to see the cave of the shepherds now part of a Franciscan Monastery. Issi explained this might not have been the actual cave but was very much like the cave where they would have used.







Also we were able to look back across the border to an ultra orthodox community.
