Here pilgrims from all over the world gather on Christmas Eve. First there is carol-singing in the square facing the church. Then all enter for the solemn midnight mass. After the service, an image of Christ is carried in a procession down into the grotto, and is placed in a manger where it lies until January .6, the Feast of the Epiphany. After this ceremony, some may wander into the fields outside the town, where perhaps shepherds long ago beard the news of the birth of Christ. All this takes place, of course, on the eve of December 25. But that’s not the end of Christmas in Bethlehem. For the Eastern Orthodox churches celebrate the hodilay on January 6. and the Armenians observe it on January 18, which is Jan-
