As the story goes, Romans surrounded the fortress and raided the mountaintop, and the Jewish refugees chose suicide over slavery.

This Orthodox Jewish couple, him with his sideburn curls and yarmulke, and her wearing a wig and long sleeves and skirt had no protection from the scorching desert sun. The only hats for sale in the Masada gift shop were cowboy hats. Funny!

I loved my room, listening to the church bells and call to prayer through the open window each morning. Spotlessly clean, great location, and superb service. I highly recommend, if you are interested -- www.guesthouse-jerusalem.com

I took a tour to Bethlehem, located in the West Bank, or Palestinian Territories. First stop was "Shepherd's Field" where shepherds watch the flock of Jewish settlement building by night...

There are outdoor chapels located at Shepherd's Field where Mass is taking place. One group was singing "Silent Night."
