Christmas in Bethlehem by Marion Harland glimpses of sacred scene
The narrator describes Bethlehem atop a hill crowned by the Church of the Nativity. The Grotto hosts a lighted star and Latin inscription as pilgrims kiss the sacred site. An organ filled Christmas Eve with a Gloria as a doll scene appears before clergy and acolytes. The piece ends with reflections on stars and dawn over Moab.
