Bethlehem is in Israel, Palestine.
00:04
Yeah? Yeah, we know that's where Jesus was born.
00:08
Yeah, so it's near the Mediterranean Sea, it's in the Mediterranean.
00:14
Yeah, we can look up a map sometime.
00:17
So I think the piece of light goes from Bethlehem to a scout who's come from Austria.
00:27
And then it's taken to Austria and there's a special service where the light is prayed over, what we call dedicated.
00:35
And then it's taken out all around Europe and even to America and Mexico and Canada
00:43
and all sorts of famous people in the past have had the piece of light from Bethlehem,
00:49
like presidents of America and prime ministers in Britain and the Pope and now special people in the world.
00:57
Like you!
00:58
Like God, yes!
00:59
And now we're in Antartica!
