Saturday Photo Blogging
A long time Palestinian friend of mine, Handool, send me a couple of photos he took in and around Bethlehem and asked that I blog them.
St George Slaying the Dragon
Entrance to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre
Inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre
Where Jesus was born
Outside the Church (with the Mosque of Omar in the background)
The Mosque of Omar, this was build by Saladin's son to commemorate Caliph Omar's visit to Jerusalem in 638, when Omar prayed on the steps of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre instead of inside so that it could remain a Christian holy place.
