CHRISTMAS IN BETHLEHEM A VERY RARE SIGHT

A TRUE SIGHT
We and our band of 79 pilgrims saw this Christmas tree in Manger Square in the Palestinian Authority city of Bethlehem on the very day when it was schedued to be lit.  This is the birth place of David and Jesus, among others.  We were in the square just about 30 minutes before the lighting ceremony and subsequent jubiliation.  Even though we did not participate in the celebration, we felt the holiness of the occasion.
Belle and I join together in praying for you all at this Holy Time of the year.  We hope that you will all join us as we include all peoples in our approach to God.
May you all be blessed with peace and joy this Christmas and throughout the New Year.
