Bethlehem observes Christmas across denominations with a Dec 25 Roman Catholic and Protestant rite and other dates for Greek Orthodox and Armenian celebrations. A televised procession leads to the Church of the Nativity where an ancient infant Jesus effigy is placed in the cave, overseen by officials, embassies, and a royal-like cavalcade before midnight mass.
The Christmas tree business is a multi million dollar industry with about 15 million trees sold nationwide. Prices span 1 to 5 dollars as balsam, spruce, pine, fir and other evergreens fill markets from New England to the Pacific coast. Harvest starts in fall with cutters, truckers bring trees to cities, and landowners cultivate stands for steady crops every 10 to 15 years.
The original Humperdinck score for Hansel and Gretel became a Christmas staple. The work, linked to Wagner and described as nursery rhyme Wagnerian, revived fairy tale music in holiday celebrations.
