Bethlehem Al Chrislinastide
To bo In Bethlehem Jordan
on Christmas Kvc is an experience
for which many visitors
have waited half their lives
Some have traveled farther than
the Wise Men of ancient days
to pray at the Grotto of the
Nativity on Christmas A special
benediction seems to rest on
Christmas Eve upon this land
so blessed by tho presence of
Christ
On Christmas Eve the faithful
nather at Shepherds Fields before
tho opening of a great rock
cave to sinjj hymns and to listen
to Bible readings of the Christmas
story at a service which
has been conducted for years
by the Jerusalem YMCA At
darkness expectancy mounts as
many wait to pray at the grotto
to attend Midnight Mass in Saint
Catherines Church or to worship
at tho Greek Orthodox or
Armenian altars in the Church
of the Nativity
Today the Church of the Nativity
looks almost like a medieval
fortress firmly planted on
a steep hillside with many
appendages walls and towers
Some of these arc churches
some arc monasteries some arc
schools all made possible by
tho devotion and love of pilgrims
and worshippers at this
important site in Christendom
You must stoop to enter the
Church of the Nativity for its
small front door the Door of
Humility is only four feet high
The Grotto of the Nativity lies
beneath the transept of the
Church of the Nativity The
Grotto is forty feet long and
