The Birthkeeper of Bethlehem: A Midwife's Tale

By Bridget Supple

Throughout history birth has been a sacred rite of passage. Women supporting each other, holding the space, sharing their ancient wisdom, and using herbs and the knowledge of their ancestors to bring life safely into the world. And for one midwife that birth had ripples which reached across time... Salome holds the birth stones and birth wisdom for a town, like her mother and grandmother before her. She has helped so many babies into the world, including a baby born in a stable in a small town on a hill. But this is not the story of Jesus, rather the woman who delivered him. It's a tale of the wisdom of the ages. While the details are imagined it is a story informed by practices across the world and over time. Through Salome's eyes we see the true power of midwifery and the transformational journey of birth.
