Each year it seems like I have one special moment that Christmas is crystalized for me. Today - Epiphany - was my moment for Christmas 2010 . All of the group was gathered into the Shepherd of the Fields Franciscan Church in Bethlehem, and we all sang 'Shepherds We Have Heard on High' and the music resonated in the dome beautifully. It was such perfect celebration of Jesus' birth - very quiet and low key. Perfect and beautiful.
Stephoni, I am enjoying the Holy Land through your eyes! I have been looking up some of the places you have been, and I know you are seeing so much. Everybody always talks about the Holy Sepulchre. That has to be an earthshaking experience..even if it is not the exact spot. I would also be looking forward to the Mount of Olives and the Garden of Gethsemane. And I have always wanted to see Qumran. I am just so fascinated by the Dead Sea Scrolls. You'll have to go back and take me on a tour! Love, MJ
