OREGON Pope Paul alk Route of Christ's Last Journey VI Bv LLI.W SIMON : and KAY J- MAI.ONEY United Press International Nineteen hundred years ago, a Roman citizen called Paul brought Ihe word of Jesus to the nations of the west. Now another Paul, Pope Paul VI, is to walk and pray where Chris tendom was born and first nour ished. Paul VI will see more of the places in which Jesus lived and preached Ihan did Ihe first Paul, St. Paul of Tasus. And where Jesus and Ihe first Paul spoke lo hundreds or thousands, Ihe present Paul speaks to mil lions who look to him (or the Savior's word. The first Paul traveled exten sively through Asia Minor and Greece. He knew Rome well, and even journeyed as far as OPEN CHRISTMAS FROM (5 A.M. lo 7 P.M.

His parents were . originally from Galilee, a vil lage called Giscala, but they moved lo Tarsus in Asia Min- j or to escape the Roman invad ers. j SI. Paul returned later and j studied Jewish lore in .Icrusa- lem, which he was to visit of ten. The only other city asso ciated with his name is Cac ' sarea on Ihe coast, where he spent two years in a Roman prison for preaching the failh of Jesus Christ. Now Ihe Roman Calholie vicar of Christ on earth is to sec Ihe Holy Land and its consecrated places, lo pray where Christ wis linrn erew to manhood and was crucified i Barrier Divides Land ! A man-made barrier today harshly divides Ihe holy places between Jcwisn Israel ami rau Jordan. The Holy Land was parti tioned in I04H when the Arab Israeli war slopped, (hough it never has been formally ended. But governments of both coun tries are making it possible for Pope Paul to cross hock and forth so that he may see all the holiest places. In Belhlohcm, Pope Paul will descend into the giollo of the Chun-h of the Nativity and how his head hclorc a silver star sunk into the marbled floor at Ihe spot accepted as the place j of Christ's hirlh. A Latin in- j scription lighted by 15 always- burning silver lamps says, "Hie de Virgine Maria Jesus Chris-! tus natus est" Here of the 1 Virgin Mary Jesus Christ was born. His Holiness will walk the narrow winding 'alleys of old, i walled Jerusalem along the niule Christ took on his last journey : on earth. Following the fiur-l leen Slations of the Cross where ' Jesus reslcd on his way to Cal vary, Paul VI will reach Ihe most sacred shrine o( Christen dom. Ihe Church of the Holy .Sepulchre. He will be the first Pope to say Mass at (he Holy Tomb of marble. About live feet long, two feet wide and three feet high, the lomb is lighted by 43 hanging lamps. This sacred chapel is reached through another chapel where a marble-encased stone is set in the floor. It is said this is Ihe stone an angel rolled away from Ihe mouth of Ihe sepulchre. (iocs To Na.arelh Pope Paul will go to Nazar eth, Ihe boyhood home of Jesus nestling in the hills of Galilee. Here Ihe pontiff will see Ihe new Church of Ihe Annuncia tion, a Catholic institution built on the foundations of a 12th century Crusaders' church. It is on a slight rise overlooking the rambling town and marks the place, in the Gospel of St. Luke, where Ihe angel Gabriel an nounced to Mary that she would give hirlh to a Son of God. In Nazareth, too, Pope Paul will see the well from which Mary drew water, and the place where Joseph, her husband, had his carpentry shop, i Nearby Nazareth is Mt. Tabor, rising 1.700 feet above the Sea of Galilee and afford ing a lovely view of Ihe Jordan River Valley and the Plain of Jezrcel. Mt. Tabor is considered to be the site of the transfigura tion of Christ. In 1M4 a basili ca was built there with two chapels, dedicated to Moses and Elijah. These, together with the sanctuary', carry out (he wish of the first Pope. Peter, of mak ing three tabernacles on the mountain for Jesus, Moses and Elijah. Follows .Irsus" Rmitfi Going eastward on the route followed by Jesus to Caper naum, where He went to preach and where the Bible relates He performed many cures, Pope Paul will come to Gennasarct, on the Sea of Galilee, from where he can look out over the water upon which the Bible says Jesus walked. . . . lasting gifts of pleasure for any member of your family!

On the banks of the Sea of Galilee is Tiberias, (he c i ( y ' named after Tiberius Caesar, which became the capital of the Crusaders under Tancred in 1099. Here stands a bronze sta tue of St. Peter, in front of a church honoring the leader ac claimed by Catholics as the first Pope and commemorating the miracle of the fish when so many entered Ihe nets that they ; were torn, and boats sank un derweight. Fishermen with their nets slill sail on Ihe Sea of Galilee at Sudk, as Jesus saw them. It will be winter in the Holy Land when Pope Paul makes his pilgrimage, and in Jerusa lem he will have the same view of the city that Jesus had from Gethsemane the day before His arrest by Roman soldiers. In Bethlehem, too, the pontiff's eyes will dwell on much that Jesus also looked upon, despite the passage of cenUiries. Its surrounding hill sides still are silvered with the sheen of olive groves such as those in which Jesus walked and rested. .
