A man and a woman approaching Bethlehem with a donkey. Taken on Christmas Day, 1898, the photograph presents a scene reminiscent of Mary and Joseph as they might have approached Bethlehem some 1900 years earlier.

Tamara Qumseya, a Palestinian from Bethlehem studying for her PHD in cross cultural psychology at Victoria University, talks to Wallace about Christmas in the birthplace of Jesus.
