The Church of the Nativity - Bethlehem
Holy land Gift Pack- Jordan River Water , Jerusalem's Stones and Galilee Olive Oil
Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judah in the days of Herod the king, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem , saying, "where is he who has been born king of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the East and have come to worship him"
When Herod the king heard this , he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.
So they said to him , "In Bethlehem of Judah , for thus it is written by the prophet: 'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the rules of Judah; For out of you shall come a Ruler who will shepherd my people Israel". (Matthew 2, 1-6)
The Church of the Nativity is one of the oldest working churches in existence today. The first Church was built by the Roman Emperor Constantine in the 4th century AD, over the grotto where Mary gave birth to Jesus. Constantine and his mother, Helena, built a magnificent and majestic church adorned with beautiful marble and mosaics.
The main entrance to the Church of the Nativity was gradually made lower and narrower in order to protect it from invaders. Two sets of stairs lead down to the Grotto of the Nativity where a fourteen point silver star marks the exact spot of Jesus’ birth. An inscription on the star states: Hic de Virgin Maria Jesus Christus Natus Est – meaning “Here Jesus Christ was born to the Virgin Mary.” The actual guardianship of the Church is shared by three Christian denominations: Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Armenian.
These elements represent a deep spiritual value to the Christians world wide. The Olive Oil represent the anointing of the sick in many verses (Mark 6 :13) The Earth from Bethlehem carries spiritual value of the Holy Land ( Mark 4: 8) Water of the Jordan water carries spiritual values of baptism (1 Corinthians : 12 :13)
