<p>Thousands of tourists, pilgrims and clergy are converging on Bethlehem as the town of Jesus&#8217; birth celebrates Christmas Eve.</p>
<p>Boy Scout marching bands were playing in Manger Square, just outside the Church of the Nativity, the site where Christians say Jesus was born in a stable. Pilgrims were lighting candles inside.</p>
<p>The Catholic Church&#8217;s top clergyman in the Holy Land is taking part in Bethlehem in a traditional procession. Latin Patriarch Fouad Twal will later attend midnight mass at the church.</p>
<p>The number of tourists visiting Bethlehem has been steadily rising in recent years, and the town&#8217;s 2,750 hotel rooms are booked solid for Christmas week.</p>
