Our space in Jerusalem was small, built for only 6,000. But in Bethlehem and near Nazareth much bigger places were especially built for the Mass. So today's mass in Nazareth drew between 40,000 to 60,000.Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461925401870320466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-78454321990372253362009-05-14T22:18:00.001+03:002009-05-14T22:18:00.001+03:00so enjoying your posts about the papal visit...mus...so enjoying your posts about the papal visit...must be a traffic nightmare for the locals.erinhttp://itsnotjustapicture.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-61277872436576167732009-05-14T22:18:00.000+03:002009-05-14T22:18:00.000+03:00Quite a crowd ... in that heat, I am however not s...Quite a crowd ... in that heat, I am however not surprised ...
