Shepherds fields in Bethlehem

The Church of the Shepherds’ Field is a Catholic-Franciscan church near Kherbat al-Sir, north of the town of Beit Sahour, which commemorates the place where the angel appeared to the shepherds, before they came under his command to worship Jesus. The church, located about 2.2 km east of the Church of the Nativity, was built by the Italian architect Antonio Berluzzi in 1954
