“We believe that the light has come to us, and the light is Jesus Christ. We belong to the light, not to darkness. We may not have lights, but we are the light,” he declared. For its part, the municipality once again did not promote Christmas events, even though many of the local Christians would have liked a sign of celebration.
As the day was coming to an end, the Church of St. Catherine — the Latin part of the Basilica of the Nativity — was filled with the faithful. And then, he said, the task for the Christians of the Holy Land is to “walk on the alternative ways that the Lord shows you. We must find adequate spaces where new styles of reconciliation and brotherhood may be born and grown. We must make our families and our communities cradles of justice and peace.”
