Marketplace at Bethlehem, c.1900-1920

This is a digital reproduction of an image held in the Library of Congress. <br><br>The image depicts the market in Manger Square in Bethlehem with the Mosque of Omar visible in the background. On Saturdays, Manger Square would be flooded with people from all over the surrounding villages and countryside, come to buy and sell produce. In the 1920s, the British Mandate regime created the Bethlehem Municipal Market between the Farahiyyeh and Najajreh quarters of Bethlehem, thus clearing Manger Square of its traditional market. This photograph is the cropped version of the original. <br><br>This image exists as part of the Bethlehem People and Places collection within the Library of Congress project of the Planet Bethlehem Archive.

该图像展现了伯利恒马槽广场的市集场景，背景中可见奥马尔清真寺（Mosque of Omar）。每逢周六，马槽广场便会挤满来自周边乡村与村落的民众，前来买卖农副产品。20世纪20年代，英国委任统治当局在伯利恒的法拉希耶（Farahiyyeh）与纳贾杰雷（Najajreh）街区之间兴建了伯利恒市政市集，由此将传统市集迁出马槽广场。本照片为原始图像的裁切版本。
