What a marvelous day in Bethlehem, even missing all the lines and crowds! Shopping for olive wood carvings, Mass in the Cave of the Shepherds, lunch at Christmas Tree Restaurant, touching the place of Jesus’ birth, another Mass for Mary the Mother of God at the Carmelite Monastery in Bethlehem with the cloistered sisters.
Then, on video 2, dinner at the Bedouin Tent Restaurant for stuffed lamb, all the wine we could drink and a rousing lesson on dancing with the Arab Christians. What a blast! Enjoy!
