The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, the supposed birthplace of Jesus Christ, was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List on Friday.
The listing of Bethlehem on the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites came a year after the first bid, filed by the Palestinian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities. The nomination was made with the hope a successful bid could boost tourism and earn Palestine a degree of recognition, as a separate state, from the United Nations.
