For my christianity coursework I am to talk about Bethlehem being a place of pilgrimage.I need help?

Question

Explain why any two places have become centres of Christian pilgrimage.

I've talked about the shepherds how they were visited by the angel and told to go and see Jesus. But how do i link that to the question?

Is this a reason why people go to Bethlehem for pilgrimage?

And also the same about the 3 wise men? How is that linked to the reason of pilgrimage?

Any other reasons why it is a place of pilgrimage?

Answer 1

Jesus Christ, King of Kings, Lord of Lords and Prince of everlasting Life, was born in the Royal Town of David, Bethlehem which is in Palestine.
