Book of Remembrance

The 'Book of Remembrance' is a book where you can commemorate your name, and the names of your loved ones, while being remembered as guardians and supporters of the Church and the Christian community in the Holy Land. It is a monumental book, placed on an ornate wooden stand in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. In it are the names of thousands of Christians whose names have been inscribed in the place where Jesus was born. The Franciscan Fathers offer prayers to bless those whose names are commemorated.
