Church of Nativity - كنيسة المهد
Bathed in warm light, this tranquil courtyard belongs to the Church of Nativity in Bethlehem, Palestine—a sacred site that has stood for over 1,700 years. Built in the 4th century and expanded by Emperor Justinian, the church is one of the oldest continually operating places of worship in the world, marking the traditional birthplace of Jesus Christ.
But beyond its global religious importance, this space holds deep meaning for Palestinians. Citrus trees, blooming flowers, and carved stone arches speak not just to faith, but to care, craft, and continuity. The courtyard is a place where the sacred meets the familiar—where monks tend gardens, sunlight warms the stone, and generations of local families return to light candles and offer prayers.
The accompanying color palette—earthy brown, sun-washed stone, olive green, and cool sky gray—echoes the courtyard’s texture and quiet dignity.
🖼️ Details:
• High-resolution photographic print
• Features both English and Arabic text
• Geographic coordinates of Bethlehem included
• Printed on coated paper with semi-glossy, smooth surface
• Available sizes: 12×16 in
• Carefully packaged for safe shipping
🎨 A color palette strip is featured at the bottom—pulled directly from the mural—making this piece perfect for lovers of thoughtful design, heritage, and Palestine’s vibrant visual culture.
