Notes from the Author. When I went on a Holy Pilgrimage Tour in Jordan, Israel, and Egypt, we visited a lot of churches. Churches were built on most biblical sites, and these are just a few of them.
Visited in May 2006
Church 012. Holy Sepulchre Church. Site of the Cavalry.
Church 013. Church Of Nativity, Bethlehem. Site where Jesus’ was born. The oldest church in use. It has small entrance to prevent Persian invaders from getting inside and destroy the church.
