Day 6:  Bethlehem

This morning we met with one of the college staff and heard her story.  It was yet another story of great faith. 

A recurring theme in the stories of faith we heard was that of returning; stories of people returning from America and Europe to serve their people.  Sadly, the trend is the other way around; educated Palestinians are looking to emigrate.

We also managed to fit in some sight seeing:

  1. The Church of the Nativity
  2. Herodium – Herod joined two hills together to build this fortress come palace.
  3. The Shepherd’s Field
  4. Solomon’s Pools.

We finished the day off with another tent style meal.
