Bethlehem (Arabic: بيت لحم Bayt Laḥm ; "House of Meat", Bēt Laḥm; Hebrew: בֵּית לֶחֶם Bēṯ Leḥem, Modern: Bet Leḥem [bet ˈleχem], lit. "House of Bread"; Ancient Greek: Βηθλεέμ [bɛːtʰle.ém]; Latin: Bethleem) is a Palestinian city located in the central West Bank, Palestine, about 10 kilometers south of Jerusalem. Its population is approximately 25,000 people. It is the capital of the Bethlehem Governorate. The economy is primarily tourist-driven.
The earliest known mention of the city was in the Amarna correspondence of 1350-1330 BCE during its habitation by the Canaanites. The Hebrew Bible, which says that the city of Bethlehem was built by Rehoboam, identifies it as the city David was from and where he was crowned as the king of Israel. The New Testament identifies Bethlehem as the birthplace of Jesus. Bethlehem was destroyed by the Emperor Hadrian during the second-century Bar Kokhba revolt; its rebuilding was promoted by Empress Helena, mother of Constantine the Great, who commissioned the building of its great Church of the Nativity in 327 CE. The church was badly damaged by the Samaritans, who sacked it during a revolt in 529, but was rebuilt a century later by Emperor Justinian I.

Its skyline is a commotion of both crescents and crosses — a reminder that the town, while now mostly Muslim, still has many Christians.

This Apparition was caught on tape by an unsuspecting tourist who accidently left his camera running just before Christmas Mass in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem on the Palestinian side of Jerusalem. The apparition forms and disappears just as a monk dashes through the room. You can see the monk feels a presence and stops to pray just as the apparition disappears.

A Bein Harim day tour visiting both Jerusalem and Bethlehem. The key sites visited include the Western Wall, the Dome of the Rock, the Stations of the Cross, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the site of the Last Supper, the Church of the Nativity and the Holocaust museum. The knowledgable tour guides share stories and history about each of the sites and walk you through a spiritual journey across the centre of the Holy Land.
From Amman, Jordan, I take a day trip to Jerusalem's Old City, seeing the sights, then take a taxi into the West Bank to see Bethlehem.

This trip was a total disaster and you can tell because I'm not too optimistic about this trip. But seriously unless you have some religious need to go to Israel I think you can skip it.

This hour-long special weaves together both the Israeli and the Palestinian narratives. In Israel, we go from the venerable ramparts of Jerusalem to the vibrant modern skyline of Tel Aviv. In Palestine, we harvest olives near Hebron, visit a home in Bethlehem, and pop into a university in Ramallah. We also learn about security walls, disputed settlements, and the persistent challenges facing the region.

When you think of traveling to Israel visiting religious sites in Jerusalem or basing yourself in Tel Aviv may initially come to mind. However, when exploring Israel it is paramount to set aside enough time to get off the beaten path and explore more of the country. Fortunately, for us, we were able to make two separate trips to Israel experiencing as much food, culture, historical and modern attractions as we possibly could.

Chorus
It's christmas
Give love til' there's peace
Til' there's more than enough
It's christmas
Give love, it's all about love, yeah yeah
Today I saw a man, on the street
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
He was cold
He was tired
And there were no shoes on his feet
He said can you spare a dime?
It won't take you much time
Til'I can get back up on my feet
I look to heaven and pray
Day after day
I'm just trying to get something to eat
Chorus
And what about the woman
Who walks the night alone
With no place to sleep, yeah yeah
And what about the child
With the broken heart
Through teary eyes that can't really see
All they need is a hand
Someone who understands
To listen to the cry that they make
Instead of walking on by
Take a look into their eyes
And help somebody find their way
Chorus
Just open your heart
Cause there's someone out there who's needing you now
A little love
Is something that can't be replaced
Put a smile on each face
Somehow, right now
On this holiday
I don't care what people say
I'm gonna put there weight upon my shoulders
(while chorus sings)For God so loved the world
That He gave his only Son
Not just for me
Not just for you
For everyone
Give love it's all about love
Chorus out
