Bethlehem Named From Christ Birthplace And Industrial Shift
The article recalls Bethlehem’s naming after the birthplace of Jesus on Christmas Eve in 1741 during Count Zinzendorf’s visit with the Moravians and notes that the town’s identity has shifted from a religious community to an industrial center. It cites labor disputes at Bethlehem Steel in 1909 1910 over Sunday work and workplace protests led by John A Fitch. It ends with a humorous European travel anecdote about Mr and Mrs Aschenbrenner at Pisa and a scare on the Leaning Tower.
