Stories Set in Bethlehem
Below olive hills in the West Bank, Bethlehem is a small town of stone houses, workshops and monasteries. The Church of the Nativity and later Israeli barriers and checkpoints made pilgrimage inseparable from restricted movement, so stories join devotion with daily patience. The Nativity Story and Once Upon a Time in Bethlehem sit on its shelf. Open Bethlehem on the StoryTerra map and filter its stories by any era.
