The Church of Saint Catherine in Bethlehem is a Roman Catholic Church built by the Franciscans in 1881 right next door to the Church of the Nativity. The inner courtyard (or Franciscan Cloisters) leads to the entrance of Saint Catherine’s Church. This courtyard is surrounded on three sides by: the Franciscan Monastery, the Church of Saint Catherine and the Church of the Nativity.
The Church of Saint Catherine shares a wall with the Church of the Nativity, and the adjoining wall allows access to the Nativity Grotto—the cave believed to be the birthplace of Jesus.
