town stands on hill and presents a fine
appearance from distance but an en-

The church and monastery covering the
Cave of the Nativity, are very imposing {;
and the interior contains much to boast
of, among which is long double row OF
elegant COrnthian pillars. The Cave Of
Nativity is lighted by thirty lamps
which burn day and night, binding the
eye with their brilliancy, which, together
with their reflection in the polished sur
faces Of the marble walls, completely
bewilder one on first entering. The altars
are continually wreathed with fragrant
freshly gathered flowers and silver
star, inserted in the floor, marks, il is
said, the exact spot Of our Saviour's birth
This may not be the true mauger, allie
