Christmas in Bethlehem

Christmas Eve in Bethlehem is a big deal. Thousands of people come, and there are concerts and other festivities. This year, there was a famous singer from Spain who performed. I got down in front of the stage with about fifty of my closest photographer and reporter friends, and did my best to get pictures of her. The rest of the celebration, I just wandered around trying to capture the atmosphere, which ranged from ecstatic to meditative. It was definitely an amazing experience, and I got some wonderful photos.
