Pilgrims Pass Guarded Barrier
BETHLEHEM, Jordan UP — The barrier of hate dividing the Holy Land lifted at dawn today in Jeru.^lem and Christian pilgrims embarked on the read to Oethlehem—the birthplace of the Prince of Peace. Israeli and Jordanian bolder guards obeyed orders to stand aside for 36 hours to let Y'hrist-iaru-5 from Israel and other paits rf the world pass through the Maiulelbauni Gate. About 1,700 were expected to cross no man’s land into Jordan. Roman Catholic patriarch Alberto Gori headed the traditional procession of the clergy from Jerusalem to Bethlehem at 5 a. m. EST. to begin services beneath the Church of the Nativity, in the cavern where Christ was born. The route of the procession wound from the Mandelbaum Gate down the Valley of Cedron, past the Garden of Gethsemane and the Mount of Olives and then along the winding road to Beth-
lehem.
It was watched by shepherds who guarded their flocks today much as shepherds did in the time of Chiist. Consuls-general of seven nations, including the United States, planned to atend a pontifical midnight Mass here. Consuls once went in procession down the old road past the well where the three wise men are said to have halted to drink. Today that road is blocked with tank traps and mines. Protestant ceremonies for Christmas were led by a carol service in the field of the shepherds two miles from Bethlehem this afternoon. Other Protestant services were scheduled in Churches in Bethlehem and Jerusalem.
