Bethlehem Church of the Nativity drone footage

The Church of the Nativity is the traditional location of the birth of Jesus. In this drone video, you can see that the church is built in the shape of a cross. One of the oldest churches in the world, it was originally constructed in 325-326 AD, but remodeled numerous times. Bethlehem is a large city today, with a population of some 100,000 people in its immediate vicinity. It is primarily a Muslim city now, though it has a strong heritage of Christian families and was predominantly Christian only a few decades ago.
