February 21st, 2019 - Bethlehem.  We started the day with Mass in Shepherd's Field.  We celebrated Christmas since this was the city in which Jesus was born.

After Mass we shopped at an olive wood store in Bethlehem.  Then, we went to Bethlehem University and heard about the University and lives of the students.  After lunch we went to the Church of the Nativity, the Grotto of the Nativity, the Grotto of St. Jerome, Chapel of the Holy Innocents, and the Church of St. Catherine of Alexandria before returning to the Notre Dame Center in Jerusalem.
