Pilgrimage to the Holy Land: day 2.translated

At dawn, several people visited the Basilica of the Nativity in Bethlehem: the absence of parishioners, pilgrims and tourists in the church cannot be described in words. Apart from the serving clergy, there was only us and silence in the church! In general, Friday was entirely dedicated to the holy city of Jerusalem: the Russian Spiritual Mission (RDM), the Jerusalem Patriarchate, the Cathedral and the churches of the old city.
