Marton Harland recounts the Bethlehem church of the Nativity, the Grotto, and the silent, prayerful pilgrim devotion beneath artificial lights. He describes the manger scene, the midnight service, and the dramatic curtain rise revealing the doll in the bishop’s embrace, with reflections on the city’s ancient walls and the Holy Land spectacle.
The narrator recalls watchful stars and a fading moon as they ponder where the Star of Bethlehem rests among glittering hosts. They describe the last dawn reddening Moab mountains before the sun rises, marking the final moment of their journeying.
