In Bethlehem (Narrative) - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]
Now we are in the city of Bethlehem[00:00:02]
At the door of the Church of the Nativity[00:00:04]
Where Christ was born[00:00:07]
The gate has been walled up then enters[00:00:08]
Into the church because of the horsemen[00:00:11]
That used to come attack the place[00:00:13]
And sack the church[00:00:15]
It's been walled up to where there's[00:00:16]
Just a very narrow opening of about[00:00:18]
Three and a half feet[00:00:20]
Where you enter into the Church of Nativity[00:00:21]
So now we enter into the place[00:00:25]
Where Christ was born[00:00:27]
This is the place where Christ was born[00:00:30]
To the world over it's a mighty big place[00:00:33]
Actually physically it's a small cave[00:00:38]
Underneath the Church of the Nativity[00:00:42]
Many other people are here today to see this place[00:00:44]
Before me is the actual spot[00:00:48]
Where Christ was born undisputed to the ages[00:00:51]
This place was found and confirmed[00:00:53]
That it was the place of the Nativity[00:00:57]
By St Helene mother of Constantine the Emperor of Rome[00:00:59]
In the third and the fourth century[00:01:03]
Just a few feet away from this place[00:01:05]
Where Christ was born[00:01:07]
Where there is a Star of Bethlehem in the manger[00:01:09]
Where he was taken wrapped in swaddling clothes[00:01:12]
Meaning loose-fitting clothes laid in the manger[00:01:14]
Where he was come and visited at this very spot[00:01:19]
By the three Wisemen from the east[00:01:21]
One of the holiest of holy places[00:01:27]
In the Christian tradition the Holy Family retreated here[00:01:30]
During the massacre of the holy[00:01:33]
Innocence ordered by King Herod[00:01:34]
And just as we left the Church[00:01:36]
Of the Nativity a few minutes ago[00:01:39]
We saw another cave where so many of the children[00:01:41]
That King Herod had killed[00:01:44]
Under two years old were buried[00:01:45]
