A tiny wooden relic that some Christians believe to be part of Jesus' manger arrived Saturday in its permanent home in Bethlehem.
Christians make up a small minority of Palestinians and Bethlehem is one of the only cities in the West Bank and Gaza where Christmas is celebrated.
“It’s a great joy” that the piece returns to its original place, Patton said, according to Wafa, the official Palestinian news agency. On Friday, the thumb-sized wooden piece was unveiled to worshippers at the Notre Dame church in Jerusalem for a day of celebrations and prayer.
