Information about Omar Bin Al Khattab Mosque
The oldest mosque in the city of Bethlehem is located opposite the amazing Church of the Nativity. This ancient mosque was built in 1860 AD on the site where Omar Ibn Al-Khattab prayed when he visited the city in 637 AD, and this church was built to commemorate Omar Ibn Al-Khattab’s visit to the city. In 1955, the mosque was completely renovated and renovated under the administration of the Jordanian civil government. It is interesting that in the city Christians offer olive oil to light the lamps of the Al-Omar Mosque, and Muslims and Christians gather in the Christmas period to celebrate together, which reflects the bonding and love among the residents.
