To enter, most of us would have to duck. After walking through a worship area, one then descends a few more stairs to the grotto of the Nativity and then peers under the altar to see the fourteen pointed stars marking the spot above the cave Jesus was born.
The basilica was built in the fourth century and undergone many renovations since that time. This is a pilgrimage site for many. Just walking through and taking a moment to venerate the spot is an amazing experience.
