A Christian man sits through a shaft of light entering the Church of the Nativity in the West Bank town of Bethlehem on December 22, 2010. The light passes through an Orthodox Christian section of the church in the central nave above the 'Grotto,' or cave, that is the traditionally accepted birthplace of Jesus Christ. Pilgrims are flocking to Bethlehem to visit Jesus' birthplace and join in the festivities during the Christmas holidays. Photo by Najeh Hashlamoun
