Holy Family Hospital: An “oasis of peace” near the birthplace of Jesus Christ

[epostle1]

Nearly two millennia ago, the Holy Family struggled to find accommodations in Bethlehem for the birth of Our Lord, Jesus Christ. Today there is a foundation, a work of the Order of Malta, which works to provide funding for Holy Family Hospital a mere 1,500 steps from the site of the birth of the Savior.

Holy Family Hospital is a Catholic teaching hospital in Bethlehem, with state-of-the-art maternity facilities, as well as an advanced neonatal intensive care unit. In a region with an extremely tense and even volatile atmosphere, this is a hospital that turns no one away.

Sorry I'm going to take exception to the anti biblical nonsence that there was no room for Joseph and Maryin Bethlehem.
Fact, both of them came from Bethlehem, they would have had family there.
Fact, middle easten hospitality meant that room would be found in the Family house.
Fact ladies do not give birth in public. Mary would have been moved to the less populated part of the house so to give birth with a degree of privacy.

Wouldn't it be great if next year the nativity play actualy reflected what did happen.

rant over.
