This town, untouched by the hand OF
modern progress, nestles prayerfuliy
among the Judean hills of Palestine
and has the only shrine i'll the worlI
around which there are three separate
EhliStmaSeS-a trinity of impressive
celebrations which occupy an entire
month.
First there is the elaborate Latin
or Roman Catholic service, which
takes Place on our own Christmas day.
Dec. -. 1t is followed, thirteen days
later by the Christmas Greek sery4
ices, as they keep the Old calendar
then, thirteen days later, by the Christ
mas services Of the Armenian church
In the case of the Latin celebrations
a procession, after forming in the mar.
ket place. marches with great pomp
and solemnity to the Church of the Ma
tiyity, where the services are held
They are conducted in person by tie
Latin patriarch. who comes specially
from Jerusalem for this purpose The
service begins at 2 o'clock in The after
noon of Christmas day and lasts
twelve hours. not finishing until .
O'Clock the next morning.
During the whole of this time the
patriarch sits enthroned in a gildeG
chair crowned by a large cardboard
inter.
The service is brought to an end by
the lAing of a beautiful life size wax
doll in a small gilded wicker basket
in the grotto or manger. Here it re.
mains for twelve days, the wonder and
a1oration Of many. It is then sold to
some church Ia Europe large sum OF
money being paid for it.
The Greek service is somewhat SINH.
ar to that of the Latin, though there
is no wax doll. Tho Armenian Christ
mas service, which is held twenty-six
days after the Lat a, possesses extraor
binary characteristics After prayers
and the burning of incense the wor-
shippers gather round large cal,
dron. from which they extract meat
and soup, which are eagerly consumed,
the Armenians having tasted prior to
these celebrations.
