Milk Grotto, Bethlehem, 2014. According to tradition, the Milk Grotto, not far from Bethlehem, is the site where the Holy Family took refuge during the Massacre of the Innocents, before their flight to Egypt. While there, the Virgin Mary nursed her holy Child. Some drops of milk sprinkled the walls, changing to white the color of the stone. [1]
The chapel was designed by architect Antonio Barluzzi. [9] A grotto rises up behind the chapel. [12] It has five apses that mimic the structure of a nomadic tent in gray. The words of the angel to the shepherds are inscribed gold. An image depicting the birth of Jesus and the adoration of the shepherds can be seen in the place. [13]
