Picture of the Week XXX

This week’s picture is seasonally inspired, as throughout December we’ll be celebrating Christmas in Israel here on igoogledisrael. It’s a great shot of the Basilica of the Nativity, part of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. There’s nothing like walking through this great big Basilica and then walking down to the Grotto to the exact location Jesus was born…very moving, even for non-believers like me.

The picture was taken by Christopher Chan, an amazing photographer from Kuala Lumpur, currently living in Australia. It appears he was here on holiday a couple of years ago and took some great shots of the area. Check his stream on Flickr out, you won’t be disappointed.

What's kept this ex-Brit, non-Jewish guy in the Holy Land for so long? Well, read around this blog and the main site some more and you might just get an idea...
