In this close-up view inside the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, the focus is on the Silver Star beneath the main altar, marking the traditional spot of Jesus' birth. The fourteen-pointed silver star gleams under the light, emphasizing its significance as a symbol of the nativity. Surrounding the star, small lamps with iconic Christian paintings illuminate the sacred space. Above the star, the ambiance of the Grotto of the Nativity, an underground crypt, adds to the solemnity of the scene. The Latin inscription on the silver star, "Hic De Virgine Maria Jesus Christus Natus Est-1717" ("Here Jesus Christ was born to the Virgin Mary - 1717"), is prominently displayed, marking the exact location where Jesus is believed to have been born.
