Just south of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem is a shrine called the Dairy Grotto on the same street.
According to legend, when Mary and Joseph fled from Herod’s soldiers on their way to Egypt, they stayed in this cave while Mary fed the baby Jesus. A drop of Mary’s milk fell on the rock, and it turned white.
