What do people do at the Church of the Nativity?
It contains a grotto (or cave) where Jesus is said to have been born. This grotto is also the oldest continually used site of Christian worship. For this reason, the site is incredibly significant for those making religious pilgrimages, or those who are interested in religion (and the history of it) as a concept.
