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.
