By RAY J. MOLONEY
JERUSALEM, Jordan (UPI)
To an extraordinary degree,
the ancient rock caves of the
Holy 'Land play a central role
in Christianity.
Christ is believed lo have
been born in a cave in Hie
rocks at nearby Bethlehem. A
tomb in the rocks here in Je
rusalem is laid to have re
ceived His crucified body. H is
believed that it was in a cave
on the Mount of Olives that He
held his last meeting with the
Apostles.
Churches have been built on
all three spots. The early Chris
tians located them by tradition,
even though Jerusalem was de
stroyed by the Roman. Titus, in
70 A.D., and desecrated more
than 60 years later by the Em
peror Hadrian.
Constantine the Great, a con
vert and the first Christian em
peror, found the three caves of
the Nativity, the Entombment
and the Ascension and built
churches in their honor.
The Church of the Holy
Sepulchre here in Jerusalem is
to be a focal point of Pope
Paul's pilgrimage. Hadrian built
a temple to Aphrodite over the
spot but the remains of this pa
gan shrine were removed by
Macarius in 325 A.D., and a
Jewish tomb was found.
The rock was laboriously cut
away, the tomb chamber isolat
ed and the Anastasius, a circu
lar building, constructed. The
present church is a group of
buildings dating from the Mid
dle Ages and there is little
trace of the work started by
Constantine at the encouraging
of his mother, St. Helena.
The facade of the church is
obscured by iron scaffolding
erected in 1933 to prevent fur
ther decay. The three faiths
which share the church the
Roman Catholic, the Greek Or
thodox and the Armenian
were unable to agree on a uni
fied reconstruction program un
til tin's year.
Inside the massive double
fronted wooden doors, Pope
Paul will stand at the foot of
what tradition says is Cal
vary. To reach the summit, the
pilgrim mounts a flight of stairs
to the right of the entrance.
From there a stone staircase,
blackened by the smoke of mil
lions of candles carried by the
devout down through the ages,
leads to the place of Crucifixion.
Down ajiother flight of stairs
and past the stone where Jo
seph and Nieodcmus prepared
the body for burial is the Holy

To Describe
India Work
A missionary's experiences in
India will be related by Rev.
Casey Nortun, the guest speak
er at the Bible Baptist Church
on Sunday, Jan. 5. The pub
lic is invited to attend the 7
p.m. service.
Multiplicity of languages is
one diflicult problem faced by
Reverend Norton and other mis
sionaries in the country. People
speaking six different languages
may be in the audience when he
preaches in Pandhurna.
These six languages, spoken
hy various groups in central
India, are Marathi, Gondhi, Hin
di, Urdu, Gujuarati, and Sindhi.
Since the missionary knows
only one of the languages, Mar
athi, his presentation cannot be
understood by others unless they
know Marathi as a second lan
guage. Although many Indians
do speak more than one lan
guage, he has found that there
are always some w ith whom he
is unable to communicate.
Another problem which Nor
ton encounters is the difficulty
that Indians have in under
standing the concepts of Chris
tianity. Therefore, missionary
work in India involves much
patient teaching and explaining
before even a few are willing
to make the drastic change of
becoming a Christian.
Before beginning his assign
ment in India with the Conserva
tive Baptist Foreign Mission
Society of Whcaton, 111., Rever
end Norton was graduated from
the Bercan Bible College in
Calgary, Alberta. After a year
of furlough, during which he
and his family will make their

lo India to continue missionary
work.

Oregon Bishop Wrote
Old Epiphany Service
On Monday evening. Jan. 6,
at 7:30, St. Paul's Episcopal
Church will keep one of the old
est ceremonies in the Christian
Church. The Feast of the Epiph
any, by its traditional presen
tation of "A Feast of Lights."
' The dramatization staged at
St. Paul's for more than 20
years was authored by the late
William P. Remington, some
time bishop of the Episcopal
Church in Eastern Oregon, with
his wife as co-author.
In 1939, the Rmingtons, hav
ing in mind the eagerness of
many Christian bodies to find
services and symbols to help
teach the fundamental truths of
Christianity, first presented this
pageant in Pendleton.
In his preidcc, the bishop said
that the service, which basical
ly was not new, was an attempt
to gather together such ideas as
w ere found and provide a
"script" which might be easily
understood and interpreted "to
contribute to the better observ
ance of Epiphany in all church
es of whatever name."
The service's purpose was
threefold: "To honor the Lord
Jesus Christ as The Light of
the World; to show how that
Light came gradually to men
through the Old Testament lead
ers, the lite and death of Jesus
Christ, the Apostles, and the
missionary Paul: and to im
press the missionary character
of the church as it seeks to
spread the Light and to share it
with mankind."
The Christmas greens in the
church remain in place for the
service, and the altar is arrayed
with symbolic candles which
are lighted individually at des
ignated points in the presenta
tion. At the beginning of the
ceremony, the church is in total
darkness.
During the Twelfth Day of
Christmas service. Rev. Robert
Greene, rector, will be the
"voice" telling the prophetic
messages of the Old Testament
and the fulfillment in Christ's
birth as related in the New Tes
tament. Before the concluding message
and benediction, the choir, serv
ers, and those representing the
Crucifer and Paul will light the
candles of the congregation lo
symbolize the act of receiving
the light and spreading it to all
the world.
The celebration will continue
in the church social hall witli
an old English custom, the cut
ting of the red and white Epiph
any cake. Hidden in the serv
ings will be three items, a ring
to symbolize tile binding of the
world together in the love of
God; a thimble to denote mis
sionary efforts: and a dime to
characterize the earning and
giving of money.
The three parishioners who
find the items in their slices of
cake will have special roles in
next year's festival, carrying
the English tradition a step far
ther. Last year the ring wenl to

Sue Nicholson, young daughter
of Dr. and Mrs. George R.
Nicholson, so she will serve as
hostess for this year's fellowship
as well as providing the cake.
The thimble was found by
Mrs. Glenn O. Lewis Jr., who
was to use it to sew articles
for the church, missions, or a
charity. Dr. George D. Massey
received the dime, and during
the past year he was to put it
to work to earn more money
for the benefit uf mission work.
Both will report on their prog
ress at the Epiphany party.
A festival of the Catholic, An
glican, and Eastern churches,
the Epiphany is observed in
many different ways in the var
ious churches, but in all it is
held 12 days alter Christmas to
commemorate the coming of the
Magi as being the lirst manifes
tation of Christ to the Gentiles.
The observance of the Epiph
any can be traced to an ear
lier period in the Eastern
Church than in the Western,
and does not appear to have
been observed in the Latin
Church until the fourth century.
In the Greek Church it was
observed as early as the sec
ond century, having been firmly
established by the lime of Clem
ent of Alexandria, who lived in
the latter half of the second and
the early part of the third cen
turies; although even the earli
est records reveal considerable
speculation as to the exact ori
gin of the Epiphany.
The Greeks, however, did not
commemorate the visit of the
Magi to Bethlehem, but rather
the manifestation of Jesus as
the Messiah when he was bap
tized by John in the Jordan Riv
er. There was a tendency in the
early days of the Epiphany to
connect it with (he heathen
spring festival, and more es
pecially with the sacrifices and
offerings made to the gods of
running waters and the clouds.
In their observance, some
Christian communities even fol
lowed the old pagan custom and
blessed the water, rivers, and
lakes.
Other sections of the Christian
Church have attempted to make
the Epiphany a special day of
Baptism, although the conse
crating of the water survived
the baptismal and is still ob
served by several groups.
In the Middle Ages and later
it was the custom to stage sorts
of miracle plays in the church
es in order to visualize to the
people the events commemorat
ed on the occasion. These were
frequently given during the
mass and the dramatic repre
sentation usually presented the
oflcrings of the three wise men.
