What you’re looking at in the photo is the exact spot where Jesus Christ was born, located in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. The silver star marks the precise place where, according to Christian tradition, the Virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus. The Latin inscription around the star reads: “HIC DE VIRGINE MARIA JESUS CHRISTUS NATUS EST”, which means: ➡️ “Here Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary.” Context: The site is in a grotto beneath the main altar of the Church of the Nativity — one of the oldest and most sacred churches in the world. The 14-pointed silver star symbolizes the 14 generations from Abraham to David, from David to the Babylonian exile, and from the exile to Christ (as listed in the Gospel of Matthew). Tradition says that the Magi (the Three Wise Men) came to this very place to honor the newborn Christ. In short — this is the holiest site in Christianity, the exact place believed to be the birthplace of the Savior.
