Fire Breaks Out in Bethlehem at the Church of the Nativity
May 27 2014
The Church of the Nativity is on fire in Israel. This church is near where tradition indicates where Christ was born. Is this connected to the black pope being in Bethlahem? What does this mean spiritually? I also included the other video that Paul mentioned. It certainly does look like it would be rather hard to start or maintain a fire in there!
BETHLEHEM, West Bank (AP) — A fire broke out Tuesday at Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity, causing slight damage near the place where Jesus is thought to have been born.
Father Ibrahim Faltas, a church official, said the fire was accidental. “The curtains around the grotto caught fire from a candle and that is all that happened,” he said. “It was not arson.”
It occurred just a few days after Pope Francis visited the site.
The church is built over the grotto where tradition says Jesus was born. The fire was quickly put out, but burnt remains of the curtains lay on the floor near the grotto and there was some smoke damage to the walls.
The church is one of the holiest sites in Christianity. On Sunday, Francis went to the church during a three-day visit to the Holy Land, calling it a “great grace” to pray at the site of Jesus’ birth.
According to Christian belief, Jesus was born in Bethlehem, spent much of his life in Nazareth and the northern Galilee region of Israel, and was crucified and resurrected in Jerusalem. Source

“It certainly does look like it would be rather hard to start or maintain a fire in there!”
Wrong, the cavern is festooned with fabric and candles. A fire waiting to happen.
