25th December
Bethlehem.
Here are some photos I took over 24 hours of Christmas in Bethlehem.
Market-stall holders sell well into the night, overlooked by buildings that have seen it all before.
Traffic chaos is the result of such a sudden increase in visitors.
The morning after the night before. Christmas Day, an empty TV set in front of the Church of the Nativity.
The faithful celebrate alongside the Church of the Nativity.
All day long, the tiny entrance to the Nativity Church witnesses a constant stream of pilgrims.
Waiting to leave. By nightfall the tourists leave Bethlehem behind, to an uncertain future.
