The entrance to the Church of the Nativity is the size of a child, others have to bow down to enter in.

Lutheran Pastor, Mitri Raheb comments, “The children of Bethlehem today need to have the gift of life and to have it abundantly and for me this is really what the three gifts symbolise. People think that it is Herod or Caesar who are going to implement ‘Pax Romana’ or ‘Pax Americana’ And they forget that peace is something that can only be given by the child of Bethlehem.”

“It is only these children that can give Israel peace, the US can give them lots of money but are not going to give them peace.”
