In Bethlehem the town where Jesus is  said to have been born is the site of the Church of the Nativity, which  is ablaze with flags and decorations on every Christmas. On Christmas Eve  natives and visitors alike crowd the church's doorways and stand on the roof to  watch for the dramatic annual procession. Galloping horsemen and police mounted  on Arabian horses lead the parade. They are followed by solitary horseman  carrying a cross and sitting astride a coal-black steed, then comes the  churchmen and government officials. The procession solemnly enters the doors  and places an ancient effigy of the Holy Child in the Church. Deep winding  stairs lead to a grotto where visitors find a silver star marking the site of  the birth of Jesus.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.santa.sc/content,traditions/"><DIV>
Christian homes in Bethlehem are  marked by a cross painted over the door and each home displays a homemade  manger scene. A star is set up on a pole in the village square.
