Beit Sahour ((アラビア語:بيت ساحور) pronounced ) is a Palestinian town east of Bethlehem under the administration of the Palestinian National Authority. The population of 12,367〔(2007 PCBS Census ) Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics. p.117.〕 is 80% Christian (most of them Greek Orthodox) and 20% Muslim.〔(History, Economy, and Tourism ) Beit Sahour Municipality.〕 There are two enclosures in the eastern part of Beit Sahour that are claimed by different Christian denominations to be the actual 'Shepherds Field': one belonging to the Greek Orthodox Church and the other, the Catholic site, to the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land. The name Beit Sahur belongs to two places in the vicinity: Beit Sahur al-Atiqah ("ancient Beit Sahur") and Beit Sahur an-Nasara ("Beit Sahur of the Christians").〔Sharon, 1999, p. ( 154 )〕 ==Beit Sahur al-Atiqah== ''Beit Sahur al-Atiqah'' (Palestine grid 171/123)〔''The ancient Beit Sahur'', also called ''Beit Sahur of the valley'', according to Palmer, 1881, p. (287 )〕 surrounded the tomb of Sheikh Ahmad al-Sahuri, a local saint to whom the local Arab tribe of al-Sawahirah attribute their name. The Sawahirah originate from the Hejaz and entered Palestine through al-Karak.〔Sharon, 1999, p. ( 155 )〕 Mujir al-Din mentions this place in a biography of a Muslim scholar ''Sha'ban bin Salim bin Sha'ban'', who died in ''Beit Sahur al-Atiqah'' in 1483 at the age of 105.〔 In 1596, Beit Sahour al-Wadi appeared in Ottoman tax registers as a village in the ''nahiyah'' of Quds of the ''Liwa'' of Quds. Beit Sahour al-Wadi had a population of 40 Muslim households. The villagers paid taxes on wheat, barley, vines or fruit trees, and goats or beehives.〔Hütteroth and Abdulfattah, 1977, p. 119〕 The place was noted by French geographer Guerin in 1863 as being 40 minutes south-east of Jerusalem, a short distance south of the Qidron Valley.〔Guérin, 1868, p. (207 ); partially cited in Sharon, 1999, p. ( 154 )〕 In 1883, the Palestine Exploration Fund's ''Survey of Western Palestine'' (SWP) described the place as: "Ruins of a village with wells and a ''mukam''."〔Conder and Kitchener, 1883, SWP III, pp. (85 )-86; cited in Sharon, 1999, p. ( 155 )〕 Clermont-Ganneau found here several old tombs in the 19th century.〔Clermont-Ganneau, 1899, vol 1, p. (435 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beit Sahour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
