Is the Church of the Nativity really where Jesus was born?
Asked 4 years ago
Hi, I thought Jesus was born in December in a barn in Bethlehem, Jerusalem. But recently, I've been told he was born in the Church of Nativity? Is this church also in Israel? Am I missing a big chunk somewhere in my upbringing?
