Church of the Nativity

Japanese: 降誕教会 - こうたんきょうかい(英語表記)Church of the Nativity
Church of the Nativity
Founded in Bethlehem around 330 by Emperor Constantine the Great and his mother Helena, this is one of the oldest royal churches in the world. The current building was rebuilt by Emperor Justinian in the mid-6th century. Directly beneath the altar is the Holy Grotto of the Manger, where Jesus is believed to have been born. The fact that Jesus was born in a cave was originally recorded in the New Testament Apocrypha, the Protoevangelium of James (around 150), and was also quoted in the works of Justin and Origen. When the First Crusade established the Latin Empire, Baldwin I (reigned 1100-18) was enthroned in this church.

Japanese:
330年ころコンスタンティヌス大帝とその母ヘレナによってベツレヘムに建てられた世界最古の王立教会の一つ。現在の建物は6世紀中ごろにユスティニアヌス帝によって再建されたもの。その祭壇の真下にイエスが生まれたと信じられている飼葉桶の聖洞窟が保存されている。イエスが洞窟で誕生したことはもともと新約外典の《ヤコブ原福音書》(150年ころ)に記されており,ユスティノスやオリゲネスの著作にも引用されている。第1回十字軍がラテン帝国を創設したとき,ボードゥアン1世(在位1100‐18)がこの教会で即位した。
