Like A Blue Thread

On Manger Square, I “found’’ a guide who, for five US dollars, showed me around. Saint Catherine’s Church is not ornate, nor is the Church of the Nativity (which was spared destruction many times because Persian kings had once visited the site). A fourteen-point cross of silver on the floor marks the spot where it is believed Jesus was born. It looked more like a compass rose to me.
