Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 83: December 22, 1921 He would see the humble Khan in which He was first cradled covered with a magnificent but dark and gloomy edifice, owned jointly by Greeks, Latins and Armenians. Each church has its assigned place and appointed altar, and the adherents of one dare not encroach upon either of the others. So jealous are they of one another that the Latins do not enter the church at the same door as the Greeks. Dust-stained paintings hang 011 the wall uncleaned because neither church will permit the others to touch them. About twenty-five years ago the Armenians, who have but a very small corner for their altar, happened to move their carpet, while sweeping, on the Latin space, and paid the penalty of the trespass by the death of two of their number. Such is the spirit of the churches guarding the sacred spot that marks His birth whose coming was heralded by a heavenly host singing: Peace on earth and good will toward men (or: peace 011 earth among men of good will).
