Arial photo of the Church of Nativity, BethlehemChurch of the Nativity is the oldest church in the Holy Land still in use, commemorating the birthplace of Jesus Christ. The construction began in 326 AD. The present Church was built during the reign of the Byzantine Emperor, Justinian. In 529, the Samaritans revolted, and the Church of the Nativity was badly damaged. The Patriarch of Jerusalem sent St. Sabas to Justinian for help, and the architect sent by the Emperor demolished the church and built the current one.
