A Door You Have to Stoop Through

The Church of the Nativity's main entrance, the Door of Humility, is about 1.2 metres high — reduced over the centuries so that raiders could not ride horses inside. The church, built from 327, is among the oldest still in daily use.

The clock: Bethlehem keeps UTC+2. Three denominations share the building under a status quo agreement, and disputes over cleaning responsibilities have occasionally come to blows.
