An artwork titled “Scar of Bethlehem” by mystery artist Banksy reveals the Baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph in a manger scene juxtaposed against concrete blocks and pierced by a mortar shell. With Christmas around the corner, the work is installed at Banksy’s Walled – Off Hotel. The words “Love and Peace” are graffiti tagged both in English and French on the concrete blocks.
There are also three large wrapped up presents at the manger scene. The Manager of the Hotel, Wissam Salsaa said that the artwork was a great way to bring up the story of Bethlehem and the Christmas story.
