UTILITY 229 WEST MAIN Activity at Nazareth Due To Close Dec- 24 Nazareth (U.R) The .fever ish activity that has been grip ping the people of this town where the Savior, grew to man hood comes to a peaceful cli max at the close of Dec. 24 with the celebration of Midnight Mass in the Church of the An nunciation. . For weeks, the 12,000 Christ ians of this town of more than 20,000 persons have been pre paring to send off the 800 for tunate ones going to Bethlehem in Jordan to celebrate Christmas at the Church of the Nativity. The thousands unable to go themselves (either because Israel or Jordan, or both have refused to authorize their crossing the border) will take part in the bustle surrounding the lucky ones. Chartered buses and cars packed with pilgrims to the birthplace of Christ will leave Dec. 24 in a long caravan wend ing its way up the road leading out of Nazareth into the low hills to the west. On one of these hills, Jesus addressed the multitudes follow ing Him from far and wide (Matthew 5), immersing them in the glory emanating from His words. Speeding along the high way, the pilgrims will easily be able to see some of the physical splendor serving as a backdrop for the Sermon on the Mount Before them the bright green Plain of Esdraelon will stretch out in a breathtaking panorama which Jesus, too, must have looked at with the same awe. Farther to , the west, the deep blue curve of Acre Bay em braces the Mediterranean with fingers of scintillating gold. Far off to the north, snow-capped Mt. Hermon seems to be wash ing itself in the clear azure sky and becoming whiter with each passing moment. Before the Holy Land was rent in . two by Arab-Jewish en mity, pilgrims used to travel due south for a distance of 87 miles to Jerusalem by way of biblical Shechem now Nablus. Since 1948, most of ths road is in Jordan territory, so they must travel twice that distance in order to reach the Holy City in a roundabout way.. Many talk of some bright day in the obscure future when Israel and Jordan will have bur ied the hatchet and Nazareth Christmas once more will be able to make the pilgrimage to Bethlehem without special au thorizations along the road Jesus must have followed from His home in Galilee. At the entrances to Nazareth, police checkposts have been re established to keep non-Christians from overflowing the town. SERVICE UTiuiTiirr Company Restaurants and cafes- even those belonging to avowed Com munists' take pride in gaily decorated Christmas trees prom inently displayed. Greek and Catholic -' Promptly at midnight, Dec. 24, Father Jean Joseph Alliot, guardian of the Franciscan mon astery, will begin the Mass in the Church of the Annunciation built on the foundations of a 12th century Crusaders' church as a priest in a black gown em broidered with gold taps three times on the floor. . At the eastern end of the town stands the Greek Orthodox Church of the Annunciation- both the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox churches bear the same name. Nearby is a spring - flowing into what is known as Mary's Well. ' The people of Nazareth are sure this is. where, the Virgin came to draw water.- . - At 10:30 p.- m. Dec. 24, Father Basilio Samman, head - of the Greek Catholic Community, will celebrate Mass in his . church. Near this church is a chapel said to be on the site of the syna gogue where Jesus preached. Not far. off is a domed chapel containing the Table of Christ, a huge stone around which Jesus, . according to tradition, sat with His disciples. The Anglican and . Baptist Churches also , will conduct ser vices which they close with carol singing. A little after 2 a. m. Dec. 25, visitors leaving the town nest ling among hills sacred to all Christendom; will drive slowly so they can take in more of the flickering lights and illuminated crosses adorning church spires. Pink and Charcoal New Color Craze Dame Fashion's favorite color-teaming whim for the mo ment seems to be . a pink and charcoal combination. Looking over the year's cotton collections, both in wearing ap parel and in home fashions, the National Cotton council "reports that the pink and black duo has been a best seller in every cate gory. The color couplet made its de but last spring in ladies' fash ions. ' Then the menfolks stole the show with their pink cotton shirts, teamed with pink and black striped ties. - Now home fashionists have picked up the craze, and pink pairsoff with charcoal in cotton slipcovers, bedspreads, and dra peries all through the house.
