Back in Bethlehem again




I put up three photos when we arrived on 6th February, so here are three more now that we are back. 

The first was taken on a walk out to the village of Artas and manages to show both ancient terracing and a modern Israeli settlement.  

The second was taken on Sunday morning at the Orthodox Church in Beit Jala (where we had worshipped often before); a new priest is being ordained.  

Neither is a very good picture, but I'm glad to have caught the sites.  

The third is (as it was on 6th February) almond blossom (the almond trees were obviously not in blossom in autumn 2013) - this time with a remaining unharvested almond visible.
