The European costumes mingled with the bright Oriental dresses made the scene varied and vivid with colors, while in the throng there were seen many fair-faced. Bethlehem women. At the Church of the Nativity In Bethlehem the Latins, the Greeks and the Armenians each have a place of worship, but the ceremonies which attracted the thousands were those at the Catholic Church. Throughout- the morning crowds flocked to the magnificent Church of the Nativity, inclosing the cave, believed by manv scholars to be the actual birth spot of Christ. f It was brilliantly illuminated. During the afternoon a multitude of people crowded the great square fronting the Church of the Nativity, covering the house tops on every side. The procession then appeared, the patriarch, escorted by Turkish soldiers, preceded by the Kawasses, or official guard of the patriarch and convent, advancing to the church. Following the sacerdotal procession came that of the French consul and his staff in uniform with an escort of mounted guards, he taking precedence as representing France, the recognized guardian of Catholic interests in the Holy Land. Following his entry into the church came the beautiful service of vespers and the benediction. Throughout the evening the church was never without its crowd of worshipers. At 11 o'clock Matins were sung and a few minutes before midnight all was hushed. Then, on the stroke of the hour, the "Gloria" arose all kneeling In profound adoration to usher in Christmas morning. The patriarch ascended the high altar and commenced to celebrate high mass. Thence forward throughout Christmas day every altar in the sacred edlnce was occupied by priests saying masses. Many devotees who took their places at 10 o'clock Christmas evening kept their vigil until 11 o'clock Christmas day, anxious not to miss one moment of the ceremonies on the site of the birthplace of Christ. 4 . oxn of Tin: avoklij's womjers.
