According to Luke, the village of Naim (Nain) was one of the cities in the Galilee region where Jesus toured, accompanied by his 12 apostles and assistant women, in the summer of 29AD (approximate date). During this visit, he performed a miracle, bringing the widow’s only son back to life. We see the village of Naim and the Gospel Trail, where Jesus and his Disciples would have walked.

Today we spend in Bethlehem and start with a visit to Shepherd’s Field and Grotto, where the Angel appeared along with a multitude of the heavenly host announcing the birth of the Savior (Lk 2:8-20). We visit the Milk Grotto before we break for lunch on our own. This afternoon we visit Manger Square and the Church of the Nativity – the birthplace of Christ. Bending low as we enter through the Door of Humility, we enter the Church and descend into the Grotto of Nativity. Beneath the Altar, a 14-pointed Silver Star marks the exact spot surrounded by the Latin inscription: HIC DE VIRGINE MARIA JESUS CHRISTUS NATUS (Here, Jesus Christ was born to the Virgin Mary). We see the Church of St. Catherine next door and celebrate Mass in St. Jerome’s Grotto.
