Nave

View looking east at the interior of the Church of the Nativity. The central portion in the foreground is the central nave of the church. The one of the side aisles is visible on the left (north) side of the image.

The church as it exists today dates to the days of Justinian (A.D. 527–565) although it has been remodeled a number of times.

In the distance are the raised chancel platform and the iconostasis. Click Here for a closer view.
