STREET SCENE IN BETHLEHEM 



Bethlehem stands in the midst of a fertile district producing an abundance of wheat, barley, olives, 

 vegetables and grapes and in consea.uence its market is always well supplied. Since 1834, when the entire 

 Moslem colony was destroyed by Ibrahim Pasha after an insurrection, there have been comparatively few 

 Moslems among its inhabitants. Photo by American Colony, Jerusalem.
