The Virgin venerated at Mission San Carlos, Carmel, California.
Our Lady of Bethlehem has been honored on the third Sunday after Epiphany for many centuries. Blessed Junipero Serra brought the image of Our Lady of Bethlehem to Carmel By The Sea when he established Mission San Carlos. Her image can still be venerated in a side chapel of the Mission church.

PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF BETHLEHEM
Dear Lady of Bethlehem, Virgin most pure, Mother of our Savior, may the memory of the cold on the night Thy Divine Child was born bring Thy powerful intercession to bear upon the world’s coldness towards the Babe of Bethlehem. Send down into the hearts of all people some warmth of the flames of love that Thy Immaculate Heart gives forth. Amen.

There is a Our Lady of Bethlehem church in Barcelona, Spain, just West off of the Rambla that has a beautiful statue of Our Lady’s dormition.
