Holy Land Continues To Attract Thousands
Of Pilgrims During The Christmas Season
HPORN by strife, tensions and
bloodshed, divided by barbed-
wire and a no-man’s land, with
conflicting political currents and
thoughts, the Holy Land at this
time of year continues to hold for
thousands of pilgrims the great
secret of eternal peace and salva
tion.
From this hard, inhospitable
!and, still struggling with conflicts
that have existed for_thousands of
years, the Jews,* Christians and
Moslems have spread their beliefs.
Although this conflict goes on con
stantly, at this season of the year
when Christians from throughout
the world make their pilgrimages
to Bethlehem, the tensions and reg
ulation^ are somewhat relaxed.
For a short time the hearts of
most men sing: “Glory to God in
the highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men.”
Church of fee Nativity
From Bethlehem to Jerusalem is
five short miles. One might say five
short miles from birth to Calvary
for the Life that has meant more
to humanity than any other. And
along that road are many places of
importance In Christ's life.
To begta the journey from
Bethlehem one most start, of
course at the seme of the nativ
ity. Here stands the impressive
Church of the Nativity, the door
way to which has bam narrowed
so that only one person at a ttane
may enter.
Monks of many sects cars for
the church and during recent years
there’s been bitter controversy
among them who shall have cus
tody of difflerent ^sections. One may
.enter the grotto, traditional scene
of the birth of Christ
There are two roads from Beth
lehem to Jerusalem now. On one
just outside the city is Rachel’s
tomb. This road is closed and pil
grims must go by the new one
which passes the Milk Grotto, near
the Church of the Nativity, where
tradition says a few drops from
Mary’s breast fell to the chalky
floor. Years ago mothers wanted
the chalk which they believed
would insure them adequate milk
for their infants.
On this route one gets the first
glimpse of Jerusalem from the
Mount of Olives. From this ancient
grove, where Jesus prayed and
’ wept over Jerusalem, the city re
flect the sunlight in rays of gold
and its beauty is breath-taking.
From here one sees the wall built
by Herod and Just beyond It, with
in the city, the Dome of the Rock
which tradition says marks the
place where Solomon built his
temple and Jeremiah hid the Ark
of the Covenant. Moslems say Mo
hammed ascended to heaven from
this spot.
Near here Is the Garden of
Gethseuaaae where Jesus prayed
the night before he was killed.
Today the garden Is eared for by
Franciscan fathers wife great
love and devotion, hi It are olive
tress said to. data from fee time
of Christ's entry into fee Golden
City. It Is a place of i
where great temples have stood
for centuries.
David erected here his altar to
God and his son, Solomon, erected
the great temple which Nebuchad
nezzar destroyed in 586 B. C.
In another temple on this spot
Christ, at the age of twelve, dis
cussed religion with the elders.
Here, too, shortly before his cruci
fixion, he threw the money
changers out of the temple.
Temple after temple has been
built here to be destroyed and
then rebuilt. Christ foretold the
destruction of the temple from
which he chased the money
changera The Romans destroyed
it, along with the rest of Jeru
salem, In 70 A. D.
In the seventh century the Arabs
erected a mosque on the spot and
later the Dome of Rock which is
the third holiest place In Islam
today.
And from inside the Dung Gate
can be seen the holiest of places in
Christendom—the Church of the
Holy Sepulcher, erected over the
place where Christ was crucified
and buried.
A number of different Christian
orders have shrines at the church.
It is much like it was when com
pleted In the twelfth century by
the Crusaders.
The agony the Holy City has ex
perienced is beyond description.
Jesus predicted the destruction of
Jerusalem. It is written in St
Mark:
“And as he went out of the
temple, one of his disciples saith
unto him, Master, see what man
ner of stones and what buildings
are here!”
“And Jesus answering said unto
him, Seest thou these great build
ings? there shall not be left one
stone upon another, that shall not
be thrown down.”
And again the account is related
in St. Luke:
"And as some spake of the
temple, how it was adorned with
goodly stones and gifts, he said,
“As for these things which ye
behold, the days will come, in
Near here, too, la the tomb of
Mary, mother of Christ. It is said
feat fee first Christian martyr was
stoned to death by the wall of
Jerusalem, a short distance away.
One can not enter the city today
as Christ did on his way to Cal
vary. The Golden Gate is blocked.
One must enter by the Dung Gate
into fee North African Quarter
which was damaged by shells dur
ing the Palestine War.
Upon entering the city one Is
overcome with Its magnificence and
religious meaning. Close at hand
now is the Dome, which was first
seen from the Mount of Olives.
One of the traditions of the
church is that the keys are kept
by a Moslem of the family of f
Nusaibeh. This custom has been in
practice since thf time of Saladin,
who was Sultan of Egypt and Syria
from 1174 to 1193.
Supposedly by letting the family
of Nusaibeh keep the keys to the
church it will keep peace among
the many Christian factions.
“If I forget thee, O Jerusalem
let my right hand forget her cun
ning."
This passage from fee Bible
aecme te sum up fee feeling of
man tried toward Jerusalem.
tee three xeUg-
fee otty will forever
More blood has been shed end
more sorrow felt in this Golden
City than any other on earth. At
least five times it has been utterly
Garden of Gefesemane
which there shall not be left one
stone upon another, that shall not
be thrown down.”
So the strife in the Holy City
continues today, but it shall re
main sacred to Christians, Jews
and Moslems for all time.
