Bethlehem is located approximately 5 miles (~8 km) south of Jerusalem. This is the city where Jesus was born (Matthew 2 and Luke 2).
Olive wood carving is an ancient tradition of the area. This particular type of wood is used because it is easier to carve than other woods and has a natural resistance to decay.
