![](javascript:doblowup('Prayer in the Grotto','/images/uploaded/up_lCLroS.jpg','A Christian woman in prayer in the "Grotto," or cave, in the Church of the Nativity, traditionally accepted as the birthplace of Jesus Christ, as she stands beside the ancient leather wall covering and a painting of the Virgin Mary\'s birth to Jesus Christ, in the West Bank town of Bethlehem on December 14, 2008.<br />\r\n+++++++++++++<br />\r\nThis photo is remarkably similar to a slide I shot in 1983 in the Grand Place in Brussels showing a woman in a lace head covering, who could be this woman\'s sister, during the weekly flower market. She is not praying but is has almost the exact same body language.',700,700);)

The ancient church is shared by different Christian denominations, including the Orthodox, and underneath the Greek Orthodox is the "Grotto," or cave, where a silver star marks Christ\'s birthplace.<br />\r\n+++++++++<br />\r\nThe red ball is about the extent of the Christmas decorations allowed in the church. Each Christian denomination religiously (pun intended) guards and protects its section of the church and no changes are allowed to the decor, as one sect is careful not to interfere or trespass on another sect\'s area, or large and sometimes violent feuds break out. There are a few colored balls that are placed in the central nave for Christmas however.',700,700);)

 and several times a year prayers are said by the rabbi of the Wall and the letters are placed in the wall, as is the Jewish custom. Letter are sent from around the world, and not just from Jewish people. <br />\r\n+++++++++++++<br />\r\nThis is for real. They take the Wall very seriously.',700,700);)

All men under the age of 45 were prevented from entering Jerusalem\'s Old City for prayers, so they prayed in the street.<br />\r\n+++++++++++++++<br />\r\nA common occurrence here. I managed to park nearby and, walking to the Old City, found a few police checking ID cards, so hung around. Young men were prevented from entering and the numbers grew. It was peaceful and respectful. I had the corner all to myself. However just as the crowd grew considerably and prayers were about to start both photographers from AP and Reuters showed up. So much for exclusives - happens all the time. This moment happed before they arrived. A photo I like showing both the tolerance and the gap between the two sides of this conflict.',700,700);)
