Mrs. Fellenbaum told of the enormous white, palatial hotel in Jerusalem, overlook- ing the city and tastefully decorated with colorful plants “The food was good every- where,” she said. ‘In Jerusa- lem our guide took us to a very special restaurant where we had delicious native dish- es—stuffed grape leaves, among other things — and special breads and cheese dips. In Rome we had Italian food, and it was good, too!” But it was the time spent in the Holy Land that was most memorable. They saw the vineyards on the hillsides, visited the churches built on the spots where Jesus is thought to have been born, where the shepherds heard the angels’ message, and where Abraham is caid to have offered to sacrifice Isaac. They walked by the Sea of Galilee, some of them took a dip in the salty Dead Sea, they followed the ‘Via Dol orosa,” along which Jesus carried the cross, and stood mournfully atop Golgotha, where He was crucified. It was a very special time. Rev. Todd and their guides briefed them on what they were to see, and gave them scriptural background each evening for what was coming the next day. “Churches (all Catholic) are built on each of the hal- lowed spots,” Mrs. Fellen- baum said. “We saw the place of Jacob’s Well, the place where Mary, Martha and Lazarus were said to have lived, and many, many more.” ; Mrs. Fellenbaum took snap- shots and slides, and bought postcards, guide books and Mount Joy, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1963 other travel literature to help her rcmember the won- derful trip. “I intend to read the books, now that I'm home, to help fix in my mind what we saw,” she explained. In London Mrs. Fellen- baum and Mrs. Hayles, and Rev. and Mrs. Todd visited one day with the Kenneth Good family, who lived in Elizabethtown until. about a year ago and were members of the Mount Joy Presbyter- ian church. “It was a happy reunion. Mrs. Fellenbaum said. “Biil and Mary Gassman, also traveling in Europe, were to have been there at the same time, but we failed to make connections. They came later the same day.” Other fascinating high. lights of the trip included a sightseeing trip up Mont balne, watching the’ chang- ing' of the guard in front of the Queen’s palace in Lon- don, enjoying Switzerland's breathtaking scenery, receiv- ing a blessing from the Pope in St. Peter’s square in Rome, and seeing Westminster Ab- bey. To the question, “Did ev- - eryone stay well gn the trip?” Mrs. Fellenbaum replied, “Yes, mostly. Everyone had a touch of dysentery at one time or another, but none of it was serious. We had a doctor on our tour, which was nice — but he was the very first one to be sick!” In the “small world’ de- partment, it is interesting to note that the tour’s guide in Jerusalem, “Josef,” was a good {friend of the sons of David Martin, Elizabethtown. The young men spent two years in the Holy Land not long ago. Christmas, 1968, will not be the same as Christmas, 1967, for the local pilgrims, who visited the Holy Land this summer. The words “Bethlehem,” “Nazareth” “shepherds”, “Jerusalem”, and many others will have deeper significance for them because of their wonderful rip. “It was just about the most wonderful thing that ever happened to us,” is the way one of them expressed it.
