milk grotto


The Milk Grotto Chapel, also known as the Chapel of the Milk Grotto of Our Lady, is a revered Catholic site located in Bethlehem. This sacred place is steeped in Christian tradition, believed to be where the Holy Family found refuge during the Massacre of the Innocents before their flight into Egypt. The chapel's name derives from a legend that a drop of milk from the Virgin Mary fell to the ground, turning the cave's stones white. Today, the chapel is not only a destination for pilgrims but also a symbol of hope for many, particularly those seeking blessings for fertility.
