Joseph and Mary Would Find
Bethlehem Wor-Torn Today
Mines and Bubble
Block Route to
City of DoSid'
BY the Asseeioted Press

JERUSALEM, Dec. 19.-Joseph
and Mary would face death if
they tried to journey from
Nazareth to Jerusalem today.
Sliced through the gray hills
and fertile plains of Palestine is
no-man's land between Israel
and Jordan. filled with mine
fields, rusted barbed wire and
the rubble of wrecked buildings.
Rough stone and concrete barri-
cades block roads across it.
Angry men with rifles bar the
way. On both sides they watch
for raiders who strike with swift
ferocity. Joseph and Mary "went
up from Galilee, from the city
of Nazareth, to Judea: to the
city of David, which is called
Bethlehem"
Nazareth is on Israel's side of
today's war front. Bethlehem is
in Arab territory.
From Nazareth to Bethlehem,
the direct route strikes south
through the biblical plain of
ESdraelon. scene of many his
toric battles. There, the first
Christmas travellers might have
found a great Roman road. It
would have taken them south to
Jerusalem.
Trouble in Jerusalem.
With their donkey, the "a
mile trip would have taken them
five or six days. But the old
Roman road was built along the
crest of the Judean hills. In
winter it is rainswept and cold.
Did they travel in winter? No
one knows for certain. Christian
tradition places Christ's birth
in December or January but
some students concede it might
have been at another time of
year.
If it was winter, Joseph and

into the Jordan valley. Here they
would have found a mild. al
most subtropical climate.
BY that route it would have
taken them eight or nine days.
Today, by either route, they
would run into the war barrier
before they had gone half way.
BY either route, they would
come to Jerusalem.
Today. supposing that by
some unlikely chance they won
their way across no mans land
the first time, they would face
real trouble at Jerusalem.
The war line runs close to the
ancient wall of the old city.
From the famed Damascus gate
and only a few hundred feet
from the Church of the Holy
Sepulchre, one of the most rev.
