Christmas Eve

Tonight I will go to Shepherds' Field and celebrate Midnight Mass. Will remember you all in my prayers.

The sky is clear but the temperature is low ... nice weather for Christmas. I bet Bethlehem will be packed tonight. I'm avoiding the crowds as my left ankle is still swollen and I'm scared someone might step on it!

Despite the festive atmosphere, here in the Holyland, there'll always be attacks against Christians on feastdays - this time it comes from a pro-Israeli protestant group "International Christian Embassy". Can you believe that? http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1261364486360&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull
