This is a digital reproduction of an image held at the Library of Congress. <div><br></div><div>This photograph shows Bethlehem's Christmas bell and views of Bethlehem's surroundings in the distance. Although it is a religious tradition to ring church bells daily, bell ringing in Bethlehem is becoming less common. This has lead many Palestinians to attempt to keep the tradition alive. </div><div><br></div><div>This image exists as part of the Nativity Church collection within the Library of Congress project of the Planet Bethlehem Archive.</div>
