They Look For Land Mines As Shepherds Watch Their Flocks By Night
Bethlehem 1936 amidst war as land mines and anti aircraft emplacements dot the road from Jerusalem to Bethlehem. Arabs and Jews fight along the Jordan frontier while refugees crowd camps near Bethlehem and Jerusalem’s hotels sit nearly empty. The Latin Patriarch will dodge frontiers to lead Christmas mass at the Church of the Nativity as UN watches, amidst scenes of ancient grottoes and olive groves shadowed by armor and troop transports. The piece closes noting US steel use at 19 million tons yearly.
