"A Christmas Salute from Bethlehem to Gaza.
The Poet wrote the song inspired by the events that happened almost two thousand years ago. Caesar Augustus, the then Roman Emperor, ordered all inhabitants residing under his jurisdiction be registered. Joseph took Mary then to his home town of Bethlehem to be registered there. All people of the land returned to be registered in Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Qisariyah, Beit Jibreen, Bisan, Nablus, Tiberias, and more.
Today, we recall these historical events while our lands, cities, towns and villages are being confiscated and distorted, while Gaza is besieged and burned. We dedicate this work to the forcibly displaced and our people in the diaspora, affirming that our return is imminent, and our right to it is inalienable."
