25 was moreover acceptable to most churches and people because the season of the winter solstice always had been celebrated as a festival period Roman Saturnalia, Scandinavian Yule, etc. Some eastern churches however consistently claimed Jan. 6 as Christmas and have continued celebrating Christmas on that datc throughout the centuries. There are many places on the map of Palestine, the names of which begin with Beth, because it was the most gencral word for house or habitation. Bethlehem meant house of bread.

It was one of the oldest towns of Palestine, it was the home of Ruth, the Book of Ruth being a page from the domestic history of Bethlehem; it was the home of David; it was where Samuel came to find the shepherd lad and anoint him as king of Isreal.
