[@brandispry576]

Where did you purchase the statues at? They are beautiful!

[@BettyE.J.]

I purchased them through Zahi at Samer Dajani shop right outside Jesus' Church of The Holy Sepulchre in The Old City. Zahi and Samer blessed my statues in Nazareth and they drove to Bethlehem and Blessed them again. Mr. Samer Dajani then shipped my olivewood statues to Chicago to my home. If you want statues blessed get in touch with Zahi. 🙏🏽🥰❤️ ​@brandispry576

[@jlangridge930]

Thank you Zahi. A previous video of yours from the church was packed with people and stressful so it was nice to see the church with peace and quiet. How old are the Mary and baby icons in the upstairs area immediately proceeding the stairs leading down to the grotto?

The Greek Orthodox church is the Mother church of most Christian ✝️ Palestinians ☦️

[@DavidJones-ji9ce]

War causes problems, not just in Israel. Its effects are felt all over the world, disrupting normal activities. Bethlehem of today is feeling the same disruption because of war. There are Two Bethlehems in Israel, the Traditional one near Jerusalem, the other is Bethlehem of Galilee, though most people don't have this information. King David was born in the Northern town of Bethlehem, so it would follow that this would be the Birthplace of the Messiah. Is there anything to prove this as fact? The Bethlehem near Jerusalem did not exist when King David was born. It was built later by the Son of Solomon Rehoboam who was King in Jerusalem. Rehoboam built this Bethlehem as a fortress town. See, 2 Chronicles 11:5-6. May you be blessed.

my sistr paula mary s patron saint paula frm rome nobility is buried ther at th birthplace church

[@KristinaUSA-x5n]

Sacrifices should not be promoted.

[@zahishaked]

I understand your point, but in my opinion every religion is committed to promoting, certainly holy places that most believers cannot reach.

[@philipcollins218]

LOOK - he was born in a stable - it was Xmas and all the hotels in Bethlehem were full. Makes sense.

[@zahishaked]

You are right, and therefore most caves in Israel during the Jerusalem period were used as such. To this day, you can find caves of Bedouins used as stables.

[@gloriathornton9124]

Joseph ben Heli and Joseph ben Matthat... Both are St. Joseph. Joseph ben Heli is Mary of Nazareth bin Joachim... Born of Anna in their 21st year of marriage. Then Joseph of Arimathea, is also a St. Joseph.

[@josephdonalde]

ven agreda s books of 1670 tel us mary & joseph wer married by th priest in th jlm templ, on her b day sept 8, who had been a close friend of mary frm th age of 3 yrs . agreda was a franciscan abbess

[@lorilemonade6649]

No one can possibly know the exact spot where Christ was born. Shame on this church.

[@zahishaked]

And you know better than millions of believers?

[@conniemoore9354]

Holy Father is leading me to share in HisLove with His children: Honor His Only Begotten Son who sacrificed His Life and paid the wages for all of our sins. Holy Father is leading me, a mother and a grandmother, to share with His children why we are not honoring His Son in my words: I ask you to picture yourself at the time of our Savior's death hanging on The Cross with His mother at His feet watching Him for hours suffering in pain and death. Would we send our condolences for His death to His Mother and call Him by an "english man-made name" or "The Hebrew Name Yeshua" given to Him at birth by G_d His Father, His Abba? Why are so many deaf to hearing G_d's Truth and they ascribe honor to a "man-made english name" that did Not achieve Honor for our Salvation? our Yeshua? through such a sacrifice as His? Honor our Savior Yeshua! Children of G_d wake up! Be Bold for Yeshua and share G_d's Truth about His Only Begotten Son Yeshua!! Blessings in Yeshua
