The head of the Roman Catholic Church in the Holy Land, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Fuad Twal greets the crowd outside the Church of the Nativity as Christians gather for Christmas celebrations in the West Bank city of Bethlehem, on December 24, 2015. Pilgrims celebrated Christmas in the town where tradition says Jesus was born Thursday but festivities were subdued against a backdrop of violence in the Holy Land and a growing jihadist threat across the Middle East.
