Church of Nativity, Bethlehem, 1971

TSC - The Sunday Challenge Dec. 20th - How about we do some Christmas stuff, not necessarily your tree... but just what you want. Very open to anything really.

Pleasant family affairs all day so I had to dive into the archive :-/

Season greetings, merry christmas and a happy new year to all my friends and everybody else who is dropping by. May reason finally prevail and the world become a more peaceful place in 2016.

For Norbert and everybody else :-) ♪♫ Adeste Fidelis ♪♫

The only way to find out is the internet or a flight ticket, Sami. Flight ticker might not be a good idea these days.Cheera and season greetings, Lutz

Dida From Augsburg ^club

Ja, das ist sie dann wohl, die Wiege der Christenheit - ich verkneif mir jetzt einfach mal, mehr dazu zu schreiben... ;-DD Aber sehen würd ich das schon gerne mal, so alte "Gemäuer" machen mich immer ganz "ehrfürchtig"!

Frohe Weihnachten dir und deinen Lieben, Lutz!

8 years ago.

LutzP ^club has replied to Dida From Augsburg ^club

Danke auch für die Weihnachtsgrüße, die ich gern erwidere,Dida Mir geht es ebenso mit den alten Gemäuern, besonders auch, weil hier Jahrhunderte unter verschiedenen Herren immer wieder an und umgebaut wurde. Und damals (4 Jahre nach dem Sechstagekrieg) war's da friedlich. Militär sah man selten und von Entifada keine Spur. Leider stehen sich die beiden Seiten da unten zunehmend selbst im Weg.

8 years ago.

Dida From Augsburg ^club has replied to LutzP ^club

...und nicht nur "die" beiden Seiten, ich mein, vor ein paar Jahren haben sich doch da selbst die Priester der unterschiedlichen orthodoxen Richtungen, die die Kirche nutzen, heftig geprügelt!

LutzP ^club has replied to Dida From Augsburg ^club

... die sollten es ja nun wirklich besser wissen, nicht zu fassen!

Dida From Augsburg ^club has replied to LutzP ^club

Hab mich nicht getäuscht, war erst 2011 - guckst du hier! Echt traurig, oder?

8 years ago.

LutzP ^club has replied to Dida From Augsburg ^club

...aber wirklich. Um die Grabeskirche in Jerusalem gibt es ähnliches Theater. Das nimmt teilweise groteske Formen an.
