BETHLEHEM'S OLDEST PHOTOS
"But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
least among the clans of Judah,
from you will come out to Me One to be ruler in Israel,
One whose goings forth are from of old,
from days of eternity."
- Micah 5
Around the time photography was invented, the first photographic artists journeyed to the Holy Land to capture the place where the Bible took place. Until that time, most readers of the Bible could only imagine what Israel looked like. That began to change about 161 years ago.

And when the angels departed from them into the heavens, the shepherds were saying to one another, ‘Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened which the LORD has made known to us!’ So they hurried off and found Miriam and Joseph, and the Baby lying in the manger.
- Luke 2
