Thank goodness the interior is beautiful because you have about two hours to glaze at it as you stand in line waiting to go through this stooped doorway to see the location of the manger Jesus lie in after birth. A variety of beautiful lamps, colonnades of pillars, and incredible mosaics surround. Our guide kept telling us how lucky we were as the wait time in high season can be up to 4-5 hours. This site was also built by Constantine and his mother Helena.
