You can't come to Bethlehem without visiting. A beautiful, historic significant spot. Don't be turned off by the long lines. It is worth the wait.
2. Milk Grotto

Milk Grotto is Behind the Nativity Church and Next door to Blessings Gift Shop and the Olive Wood Factory. Holy Family found refuge during the Massacre of the Innocents, before they could flee to Egypt. A "drop of milk" of the Virgin Mary fell on the floor of the cave and changed its color to white. Must See.

It was a short walk from the church of Nativity to the Grotto. Our guide wanted us to visit the church of Nativity after visiting the Grotto due to longer time expected to visit the Nativity Church and he was right! The tradition is that Mary and Joseph stopped at this cave to feed the Baby Jesus while fleeing to Egypt. A drop of milk fell down on the rock which became white. So the cave became a place of veneration. A church was built by Franciscans earlier near the cave. A modern chapel dedicated to mother Mary is also connected to the Grotto. This site is an amazing place, worth a visit.
