Thanks,

Jerusalem mainly. But i'd like to see other areas of religious significance like Bethlehem and areas of historic interest like Kerak and masada, in the greater holy land.

But my primary interest is the church of the holy sepulchre, temple mount, golgotha and the cave of the prophets.

Lady, gentlemen - i'm afraid i'm going to have to take my leave of you. I have an early class tomorrow I need to be conscious for.

Goodnight

There has been a reduction of Christians visiting the Holy land due to ongoing struggle, do have any plans to marry in the Church of Nativity?

There has been a reduction in [i]Christians[/i] in the Holy Land due to the fighting.

and no, we're getting married in New York.

I might be wrong but I think the C o N is Orthodox.

Not sure on that...

From Wikipedia.

The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem is one of the oldest continuously operating churches in the world. The original structure was built by Bishop Makarios of Jerusalem at the direction of Constantine I of the Roman Empire following the First Council of Nicaea in 325. That structure was burnt down in the Samaritan revolt of 529.

It is administered by a coalition of Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox clerics. Tradition has it that the church was built over Jesus' birthplace, and it is held as sacred by followers of Christianity and Islam

wow, didn't know it was that old
