The Evangelical Lutheran Christmas Church in Bethlehem, in solidarity with Gaza, has changed its traditional nativity scene, placing baby Jesus in the rubble wearing a keffiyeh.

The church's priest emphasized the significance of the display at the birthplace of Jesus in the occupied West Bank. The cancellation of Christmas in Palestine due to the situation in Gaza has sparked a strong message of unity between Muslims, Christians, and Orthodox Jews.
