THE CHURCH OF THE NATIVITY
The silver Star of Bethlehem marks the place where the Virgin Mary gave birth to the Savior. The original star was destroyed during unrests in 1847. The inner circle of the star has a inscription in Latin : «Hic de Virgine Maria Jesus Christus natus est» (Virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus Christ here ).
Над полукружном централном нишом налази се часни престо, а под њим мермерна плоча са сребрном Звездом која означава место које је обасјала звезда Истока означавајући место рођења Спаситеља света. Прва звезда је уништена током немира 1847. год. На унутрашњем кругу звезде налази се натпис на латинском: «Хиц де Виргине Мариа Јесус Цхристус натус ест» (Овде је Дева Марија родила Исуса Христоса). У полукругу около звезде гори 15 кандила, од којих су 6 приложили православни Срби, 5 Јермени и 4 католици.
With the blessing of H.E. Theophylact, Archbishop of Jordan from Jerusalem Patriarchate, this pair of silver filigree candle holders were placed on Holy Altar table above Star of Bethlehem in Grotto. These silver filigree candle holders were donated by Serbian pilgrims to the Holy Land, during Christmas.
Funds necessary for manufacturing of these holderss were collected among Serbian Orthodox believers, by efforts of Mrs. Gordana Sipka from Novi Sad, Fr. Nikolai - Abbot of St. Thomas monasery and Sister Dorothea from Church of Nativity.
Precious stones were donated by grace of Mr. Dusan and Mrs. Leonora Vulovic from Belgrade.
