Model of old Jerusalem with city of David outside the walls on lower right. Herod’s Second Temple on the upper platform middle right. The two iron trees below that are by Chinese artist Ai Weiwei with the Shrine of the Book holding Dead Sea Scrolls under the sculpted white roof.

This is in Palestinian Bethlehem, a church built over a cave where Mary gave birth. Only a small part of the stone is exposed in the basement that I touched. The small door to the church is to keep horses and camels out.

Getting in and out takes hours at rush hour, took awhile off-peak also.
