Best Shopping in Bethlehem: Manger Square

So the first option is the Manger Square next to the Church of Nativity, located in Bethlehem’s very center. Apart from the fact that Manger Square is a focal point for all of the Christmas celebrations in Bethlehem, with a giant Christmas tree crowning the square. It is the traditional spot where locals and pilgrims sing Christmas carols before the midnight mass at the Church of the Nativity.

So the first shop I think you should consider checking out is Christmas House Bethlehem! This fine establishment is owned and operated by the Giacaman family, a Christian family living in the Holy Land since 1,600 CE. The owner is the father of the family, Issa. He inherited this business from his father, Elias. In addition, Issa Giacaman has three sons and two daughters. The Christmas House was established in 2010, carrying a family heritage since 1917, and it operates with two stores and one olive wood factory.
