C&SI Christmas 2021 -"What is it like in Bethlehem in 2021 - the capital of Christmas?"- A reflection with Br Justin OSB (S2E5b) - a podcast by Come & See Inspirations team

C&SI brings together a series of reflections to share over the Christmas Season. Originally available for listening on Christmas Day and St Stephen's Day, we are sharing the individual reflections to allow listeners a bite size moment over the days of Christmas - to allow us to pause and reflect for a few moments and also as a reminder that Christmas is not just "the day" but a season of faith where we celebrate the wonder of the coming of Emmanuel into the messiness of human suffering and existence.

Bethlehem - the city most associated with the Christmas story but what is it like to live in the "capital of Christmas" in 2021? Br Justin shares with us what it is like to live in Bethlehem behind the security wall facing the challenges of the restrictions on the Palestinian community from both a security and also pandemic related ones. He shares with us the huge challenges facing the Christian community who depend so much on tourists and pilgrims but who still maintain hope.
