43 Silver Star Marker of Jesus Birth Site at Church of Nativity in Bethlehem, Palestine

This 14-point, silver star encased in a marble floor below an altar is in the Grotto of the Nativity. The inscription reads, “Here of the Virgin Mary Jesus Christ was born.” Nearby is another altar where Mary laid Him in a manger. Both are in an underground cave beneath the Church of Nativity within the Palestinian territory of Bethlehem. This oldest church in the Holy Land dates back to 565 AD.
