There is one place where Christ- mas is kept three times a. year-in the Church of Nativity at Bethle- hcm, the reputed site of the Stable of the Inn.

The Roman, Greek and Armen- ian Greek bodies have each their respective section 0f tho Church. but their celebrations do not occur on the same day.

The Latin Christmas is celebrat- ed at the Roman Catholic altar on December 25th.

‘Phil-teen days later the Ortho- dox Easterns performs the Greek rite. Another thirteen days latcr the Armenian church keeps its own ceremonial of Byzantine faith.
