Summary

A rare medieval account by Presbytero Jacinto, preserved in the Archive of the Cathedral of León, offers novel insights into the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem and the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. This Spanish translation of his Latin text reveals unique architectural and artistic details that differ significantly from other contemporary sources, challenging existing narratives about these UNESCO World Heritage Sites. By comparing Jacinto's observations with other medieval pilgrimage records, researchers confirm the accuracy—and occasional novelty—of his descriptions, contributing valuable historical and cultural context to the study of Christian heritage.
