Thousands of Christian pilgrims from the world over converged on Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, to celebrate Christmas. Not since the Millennium celebrations have there been as many tourists in Bethlehem after which the second Palestinian intifada began. This brings some measure of hope in a region sorely in need of it.
Hundreds of people from all over the world crowded the church's dark interior. According to Israeli border police, who monitored the entry of visitors into Bethlehem, 22,000 tourists had crossed over by midday, including about 7,000 Israeli Arabs.
