The majority Muslim ones in Asia and the Middle East are especially nervous after President Donald Trump's decision to move the American Embassy to Jerusalem, a decision that has offended many Muslims.
In Indonesia, the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, police say that they have stepped up security measures around churches and sites frequented by tourists, recalling almost syllutian attacks on churches in Christmas 2000 that claimed the lives of 20 people.
In Cairo, where bombs at the largest Coptic Cathedral in the Egyptian capital claimed the lives of 25 people last December, police have launched regular patrols on streets around the churches.
German police on the other hand called experts and a robot explosives to check a suspicious package at a Christmas market in the town of Bonny, Friday afternoon.
Germany is on alert a year after a rejected Sunnisian asylum took the lives of 12 people when they grabbed a truck and crashed it onto a Christmas market in Berlin.
In Malaysia, police officials say Trump's decision on Jerusalem has increased concerns about possible attacks.
Authorities fear not only for security in churches and trust sites but also for threats from the Islamic state or any other kind.
Meanwhile in Jerusalem, a police spokesman said that there were no additional security measures, but the police would declassify as usual the forces around the Christian holy sites and also provide pilgrims' convoys from the town of Bethlehem to the west coast, known as the birthplace of Jesus Christ and controlled by Palestinian authority.
