Pathex Motion Pictures 37 A Pilgrimage To A series of one-reel pictures of the Holy Land, showing places of interest, sacred and historic, in the birthplace of three of the great religions of the world. "The Road to Bethlehem" No. T 34 One Reel $1.75 Nineteen hundred years have seen little change in the country between the Joppa Gate at Jerusalem and Bethlehem. A new road replaces the old one, passing the Well of the Magi, the Tower of David and the Field of Boaz where Ruth gleaned and shepherds still tend their flocks. "Bethlehem" No. T 35 One Reel $1.75 The Grotto in which Christ was born is now sheltered by the Church of the Nativity in the heart of the town. The entrance to the sacred spot is small, forcing the visitor to crawl on all fours through a narrow door to view the altar, surrounded by gifts from every land. "Nazareth" No. T 36 One Reel $1.75 High in the mountains of Galilee, where Mary and Joseph dwelt, the Church of the Annunciation now stands where once was Mary's simple home, scene of the Angel Gabriel's salutation. Also are seen the Virgin Fountain, from which the tradition says, Mary drew water for her household needs, and an humble carpenter shop with its workers busy at their tasks.
