Welcome, brilliant viewers，to today’s Enlightening Entertainment. Situated on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea，bordering Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, Palestine is known as the cradle of civilization. Over the centuries， numerous great sages and prophets have traveled to and dwelt in this Holy Land. The ancient city of Jerusalem，for example, is one of the world's oldest spiritual centers. Many prominent religions including Judaism， Christianity and Islam have，to various extents， taken shape in this legendary place.

Some 10 kilometers south of Jerusalem lies one of the oldest cities in Palestine, Beit Jala, whose skyline is graced by the pinnacles of six churches and two mosques. Beit Jala is well known for its religious，educational andhealth organizations and institutes that serve the residents of the city， many of which are run by a variety of Christian denominations.
