Star of Bethlehem

Although we don’t know the actual location of Christ’s manger in Bethlehem, a traditional site at the Church of the Nativity has been marked since the 4th century by a silver star in an ornate setting -- the “Star of Bethlehem.”

Under the marble slabs and ornamentation of the Star of Bethlehem, there are natural cave walls and a grotto that many scholars believe is the actual birthplace of Jesus Christ (Luke 2:7). The Star of Bethlehem has become the symbolic destination of pilgrimage for Christians since Constantine.
