BETHLEHEM – BIRTHPLACE OF ISA AS

The Quran hasn’t specified the exact spot where Isa AS was born and has sufficed with mentioning that it was at the foot of a remote date palm by a freshwater stream. It is believed that Prophet Isa AS was born in the grotto which is currently located in the Church of Nativity in Bethlehem.
