Even though the venue is modest, the duo performs with energy and feeling.

Radio Bethlehem 2000 was established to promote and develop the local community.

Bethlehem is a hub of Palestinian culture and tourism.

Scott and Michael are interviewed frequently by reporters during their visit.

Bethlehem is a Palestinian city in the central West Bank.

The Israeli West Bank barrier is being constructed along and within the West Bank.

Supporters argue that the barrier is necessary to protect Israeli civilians from Palestinian terrorism.

Opponents argue that it is an illegal attempt to annex Palestinian land under the guise of security.

The Red Cross has declared the barrier "causes serious humanitarian and legal problems".

It is a canvas for many paintings and writings, often of political, spiritual, or humanist messages.

This mural depicts an Israeli Defense Force soldier and a United States dollar.

A corner of the barrier, complete with watch tower, razor wire and graffiti.

Due to political graffiti, it has been called "the largest protest banner in the world".

This "Endangered Peace Dove" was painted by Banksy, well-renowned Bethlehem street artist.

The Bethlehem Peace Center aims to promote peace, religious tolerance and cultural diversity.

Scott and Michael experience traditional Palestinian hospitality, culture and cuisine.

This artwork depicts five major religions as five fingers on the same hand.

Bethlehem has a Muslim majority.

It is also home to one of the largest Palestinian Christian communities.

In recent decades, the percentage of Christians in the town has steadily fallen.

A 2006 poll of Bethlehem's Christians showed 78% attributed this to Israeli travel restrictions.

Scott and Michael show up to support peace in Bethlehem.

The banner says "Our children have the right to live with dignity and freedom".

Many refugees fled to the Bethlehem area from areas captured by Israeli forces in 1947–48.

In 2010 there were still 194,514 refugees living in 19 refugee camps in the West Bank alone.

Scott speaks to the audience.

The Bethlehem Peace Center relies on volunteers to help with events and activities.

It is intended as a place where the people of Bethlehem can meet and learn.

The Church of St. Catherine is also part of the Church of the Nativity.

It was built in a more modern Gothic revival style than the main Basilica of the Nativity.

Bethlehem has a wine-producing company, Cremisan Wine, founded in 1885.

Shopping is a major sector in Bethlehem, especially during the Christmas season.

The church is administered by Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox and Armenian Apostolic authorities.

All three traditions maintain monastic communities on the site.

Big medallions will get you street credit in Manger Square, just like downtown Los Angeles.

Manger Square is a large paved courtyard in front of the Church of Nativity.

Crowds gather on Christmas Eve to sing Christmas carols in anticipation of the midnight services.

The "Two From Blue" are popular targets of media interviews.

The square is mainly a meeting place or locals and for the town's many pilgrims.

May peace and freedom be the future of Bethlehem.
