Milk Grotto
  • The Milk Grotto is a 5-minute walk from the more famous Church of the Holy Nativity, and tends to have fewer crowds. If you're lucky, you might even get the place to yourself.

  • There is no admission fee to enter.

  • Christian couples struggling with fertility issues come here for packets of “milk powder” believed to help with conception, which you can only buy in person. You’ll see plenty of letters and baby photos from parents around the world testifying to its potency.

  • You’ll find plenty of souvenir shops selling traditional olive wood carvings in the vicinity of the church.

  • Dress modestly to enter—think loose, light clothing in summer that covers knees and shoulders. Bethlehem can get very chilly in winter, so it’s easier to dress in layers then.
