Good Tidings of Great Joy

Good Tidings of Great Joy

Here we present a rare image of Bethlehem, Christmas Day. It was taken in between 1898 and 1946.

The image shows a Shepherd tending his flock, with Betheleh in the Background. It is reminiscent of another Christmas some 1900 years early, when an Angel appeared to Shepherds in the area.

We have created this collection of images primarily to serve as an easy to access educational tool. Contact curator@old-picture.com.
