Bethlehem Becomes Mecca for Pilgrims During Christmas
Bethlehem hosts a vast mix of pilgrims from around the world and Palestine for the annual Christmas festival as rioting and bloodshed fade from memory. The Patriarch leads a midnight mass at the old Franciscan convent near the Church of the Nativity while Anglicans, Greeks, and Catholics observe distinct rites in adjacent sites. Only a small crowd attends the grotto service, moved by the age-old surroundings.
