of Corinthian pillars, similar to those

which was once blazing with gold and
silver. This ancient building adjoins
the one now in use and is only divided
from 1t by small door.
Here are the usual altars and images
which are found in the Latin church
all over the orient, and in the Greek
portion are the curious pictures which

steps leads from this church down to
the holy crypt, grotto twenty feet un-
der the great choir.
This holy crypt forms the chapel Of
the manger and is subterranean
vault excavated out of the limestone
rock of which the hill of Bethlehem
is composed. On it's walls are old
silken tapestries. Many of the silver
lamps hanging here were donations
from kings, and are always kept alight.
