Where the jesus been born and been buried after his death?

Jesus was born in around 4BC in Bethlehem, a few miles outside Jerusalem. Bethlehem is now in Palestinian territory in the Holy Land. No one knows for certain just where Jesus was born in that town, but a church there 'The Church of the Holy Nativity' was built on the site where he was reputed to have been born. Visitors can enter a cave inside the church that holds a manger (an animal feed trough) where they believe he was laid after his birth. It is now marked with a star. Although living out his mission in Galilee in the north of the country, Jesus returned to Jerusalem at the end of his earthly life where he was crucified. After his execution he was laid in a rock tomb in a garden near the place of execution. Today the likely site (but not the definite site) of his burial is covered by a church called the 'Church of the Holy Sepulchre' (Sepulchre means 'tomb'). For many Christians this is the holiest of all places as Christians believe that Jesus rose from the dead from this tomb, and by his resurrection conquered death for all who believed in him. The church is open to the public.

Does Christianity have a holy site near Israel?

There are several Christian holy sites in Israel, most near to Jerusalem. Probably the most important is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, but there is also the Via Dolorossa, Golgotha, Mount Zion, Tomb of the Virgin, Grotto of Gethsemane, the Chapel of the Ascension, and the Armenian Patriarchate in Jerusalem at St. James Cathedral. Outside of the Jerusalem area, there are a few sites in the Galilee (especially near to Tiberias and the Sea of Galilee) and there are also several ruins near Ceasarea from the time of Jesus, which many Christians find moving.There are also some Christian holy sites close to Israel, but not in Israel. There is Mount Nebo in Jordan, the supposed resting place of Moses. There is also Saint Catherine's Monastery in Egypt which guards the supposed site of Mount Sinai.

What is near the Wailing Wall?

There is no such thing as a wailing wall. This is a misnomer imposed by non-Jewish people who misunderstood the dinstinctive style of Jewish prayer, and thought it was wailing. You are most likely referring to the Western Wall in Jerusalem. The Western Wall was built as part of the expansion of the 2nd Jewish Temple, approximate 20 BCE. It is a retaining wall of the Temple mount that was built by King Herod. Near the wall is the Temple mount, and on top of the mountain is a mosque.

Jesus was crucified in Golgotha which is an Aramaic word that means "the skull." Calvary is the Latin form of the word. The Bible does not reveal the exact location of Golgotha.

It serves as a reminder of baptism, which is often the first sacrament received in the Christian faith. Placing the font at the entrance also allows believers to bless themselves with holy water, signifying purification and preparation before entering the sacred space.
