——————————————
The Church of the Nativity, or Basilica of the Nativity is a basilica located in Bethlehem in the Palestinian West Bank. The grotto it contains holds a prominent religious significance to Christians of various denominations as the birthplace of Jesus. The grotto is the oldest site continuously used as a place of worship in Christianity, and the basilica is the oldest major church in the Holy Land.
The church was originally commissioned by Constantine the Great a short time after his mother Helena's visit to Jerusalem and Bethlehem in 325-326, on the site that was traditionally considered to be the birthplace of Jesus.[3][4] That original basilica was likely built between 330-333, being already mentioned in 333, and was dedicated on 31 May 339. It was destroyed by fire during the Samaritan revolts of the sixth century, possibly in 529, and a new basilica was built a number of years later by Byzantine Emperor Justinian (r. 527-565), who added a porch or narthex, and replaced the octagonal sanctuary with a cruciform transept complete with three apses, but largely preserved the original character of the building, with an atrium and a basilica consisting of a nave with four side aisles.
The Church of the Nativity, while remaining basically unchanged since the Justinianic reconstruction, has seen numerous repairs and additions, especially from the Crusader period, such as two bell towers (now gone), wall mosaics and paintings (partially preserved). Over the centuries, the surrounding compound has been expanded, and today it covers approximately 12,000 square meters, comprising three different monasteries: one Greek Orthodox, one Armenian Apostolic, and one Roman Catholic, of which the first two contain bell towers built during the modern era.
The silver star marking the spot where Christ was born was stolen in 1847. Some assert that this was a contributing factor in the Crimean War against the Russian Empire. Others assert that the war grew out of the wider European situation.
Since 2012, the Church of the Nativity is a World Heritage Site and was the first to be listed by UNESCO under 'Palestine'.
A 250-year-old understanding among religious communities, the Status Quo, applies to the site.
Monon northbound freight crosses Burnham Avenue behind three C420 (511-510-513.) If you can tear your eyes away from the three Alcos, you will notice that above the slime green vehicle on the left (I think it's a '62 Ford or Mercury), there is a bell on a tall post. This is the Burnham Avenue crossing protection "system", protecting the traffic on a four lane road from the depredations of six main line tracks of three railroads. It appears to be an actual steam engine bell, and I'm sure it was. At least it sounded like one when the crossing watchman, posted in an elevated shanty to its left, would ding it a couple times before dropping the long gates down over the pavement on either side of the railroads' right of way. Seeing it again reminded me of the times my attention was diverted by the tinny sound of that bell and the sight of the manual gates flopping down to their horizontal position. And for a view of that crossing watchman's palatial office....

We’ve been marched even farther north now, to Shanxi, to combat a new threat there. We were supposed to encircle the invaders with the help of the 8th Route Army from the north. Instead, the 8th Route Army never came, and now the Japanese have smashed through our front lines. Word has it that the 5th and 14th Army Groups have been completely destroyed, some are even saying that we’ve lost more men here than we did in Nanking. The fighting died down a few days ago, and we’ve managed to slip past several enemy positions, leaving us trapped with our backs against the Huang He. Now we just need to get back across the river to reach the safety of Luoyang.
Some say the communists never showed up because they solely want to control the northern provinces. Others say it was because a series of incidents where our own troops attacked members of the New 4th Army. I don’t care who betrayed who.
I just want to go back to Hubei.
-Side Note-
Putting a story together for this one was fairly challenging. This battle essentially marked the end of KMT-CPC cooperation, and was one of the largest losses for Nationalist manpower, and yet there’s next to no info out there on it.

The wonders of digital have made my earliest shots of the Rio Grande a lot less dark...this eastbound approaches Lowell Blvd. as it leaves the Front Range behind. A pair of SD45's, a GP40, and an F7b (F9b?) lead the train towards North Yard, which is not too distant. The foreground track should be the C&S branch to Golden, home of Coors Beer, a.k.a. "Colorado Kool-Aid."
The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LB&SCR) A1 Class is an English class of 0-6-0T steam locomotive. Designed by William Stroudley, 50 members of the class were built in 1872 and between 1874 and 1880, all at Brighton Works. The class has received several nicknames, initially being known as "Rooters" by their south London crews. However, the engines were more famously known as "Terriers" on account of the distinctive 'bark' of the exhaust beat.
A1X (Terrier) Class 0-6-0T No. 680s (54 ‘Waddon’, 751) designed by William Stroudley, built in 1875 at Brighton Works. This locomotive was given a Marsh A1X boiler but not the extended smokebox and remained classed as A1 although not in its original A1 condition.
Sold for £670 to Sheppey Light Railway in September 190 and given the No.751, in 1923 joined the Southern Railway at Grouping and was renumbered A751. Went to Departmental Stock in 1932 and worked at Lancing Carriage Works with the number 680s. It was withdrawn 31 May 1962 and was fully restored at Eastleigh Works before being presented to the Canada Railway Historical Association in 1963. Currently on display at Canada National Railway Museum, Delson, Quebec, Canada.

Les vitraux de Saint-Vincent. En 1939, prévoyant le pire, l'Administration prit la décision de déposer tous les vitraux anciens de l'église Saint-Vincent. Après classement en bonne et due forme, ils furent envoyés au donjon de Niort, dans les Deux-Sèvres. Les vitraux des XVIIIe et XIXe siècles restèrent en place. Avec l'église, ils furent réduits en miettes lors du bombardement allié du 31 mai 1944. On parvint à extraire des décombres quelques pièces de mobilier et des restes de sculpture. L'église avait été classée aux Monuments historiques. Elle fut déclassée, à l'exception du portail sud du transept, et partiellement rasée. Les vitraux, entreposés entre-temps à Paris, n'avaient donc plus d'édifice de destination. Que faire? Construire une nouvelle église? Bâtir un musée dédié? Les exposer à demeure dans un musée déjà existant? Il fallut trente-cinq ans pour régler l'affaire.
En 1951, la Ville envisagea d'exposer les plus beaux vitraux au musée le Secq des Tournelles. De Paris, ils revinrent donc à Rouen. Quatre furent exposés : l'Arbre de sainte Anne, les Chars, les Saints et le Jugement dernier.
En 1957, on partagea les verrières de Saint-Vincent en deux. Le premier groupe, jugé indivisible, comprenait les vitraux du chœur de l'ancienne église jusqu'au transept. Les autres, qui ne constituaient pas un véritable ensemble, formaient le second groupe. Huit verrières de ce groupe furent remontés, à la cathédrale, dans la chapelle de la Vierge et dans l'ancienne salle du trésor de la tour Saint-Romain.
Peu après, la décision fut prise de construire une nouvelle église place du Marché et l'on ne parlait plus vraiment d'y remonter les vitraux de l'ancien chœur. De quel style serait-elle? Néo-gothique? Résolument moderne? Les avis se heurtaient. Et puis, des vitraux anciens dans du moderne? Des services officiels s'y opposaient. Cependant, en 1962, les Amis des Monuments Rouennais bataillèrent pour que l'insertion des vitraux dans la nouvelle église fût inscrite au cahier des charges. L'idée de créer un musée du vitrail fut rejetée. L'historien d'art Jean Lafond fit alors une nouvelle répartition des vitraux : ceux qui appartenaient à l'église primitive avant la reconstruction du chœur ; ceux qui provenaient d'autres églises et avaient été remontés à Saint-Vincent pendant la Révolution ; enfin, la série installée dans le chœur. Cette série, indivisible, sera, au bout du compte, remontée en 1978 dans la nouvelle église après de nouvelles péripéties.
En 1972, le projet finalement choisi ne prévoyait pas de place pour l'insertion des treize verrières. Le projet était celui de l'architecte Louis Arretche, Architecte en Chef des Bâtiments Civils et des Palais Nationaux et urbaniste de la ville de Rouen. Les défenseurs des vitraux, scandalisés, firent pression. La vice-présidente des Amis des Monuments Rouennais, madame Néel-Soudais, à la tête d'un petit groupe, les Amis de Rouen et de Jeanne d'Arc, amena l'architecte, par sa force de persuasion, à modifier ses plans. Celui-ci accepta d'enfoncer de deux mètres l'église dans le sol afin de donner à la façade nord une hauteur suffisante pour les verrières. Les treize verrières furent restaurées de 1975 à 1978 par l'atelier Gaudin, et remontées à Sainte-Jeanne d'Arc au second semestre 1978.
The stained glass windows of Saint-Vincent. In 1939, foreseeing the worst, the Administration decided to remove all the old stained glass windows from the Saint-Vincent church. After proper classification, they were sent to the keep of Niort, in Deux-Sèvres. The stained glass windows from the 18th and 19th centuries remained in place. Along with the church, they were reduced to rubble during the Allied bombing of 31 May 1944. A few pieces of furniture and remains of sculpture were managed to be extracted from the rubble. The church had been classified as a Historic Monument. It was downgraded, with the exception of the south portal of the transept, and partially razed. The stained glass windows, stored in the meantime in Paris, therefore no longer had a destination building. What to do? Build a new church? Build a dedicated museum? Display them permanently in an existing museum? It took thirty-five years to resolve the matter. In 1951, the City considered exhibiting the most beautiful stained glass windows at the Secq des Tournelles museum. From Paris, they returned to Rouen. Four were exhibited: the Tree of Saint Anne, the Chariots, the Saints and the Last Judgement.
In 1957, the stained glass windows of Saint-Vincent were divided into two. The first group, considered indivisible, included the stained glass windows of the choir of the old church up to the transept. The others, which did not constitute a real ensemble, formed the second group. Eight stained glass windows from this group were reassembled, in the cathedral, in the chapel of the Virgin and in the old treasure room of the Saint-Romain tower.
Shortly afterwards, the decision was made to build a new church on the Place du Marché and there was no longer any talk of reassembling the stained glass windows of the old choir. What style would it be? Neo-Gothic? Resolutely modern? Opinions were conflicting. And then, old stained glass windows in modern ones? Official services were opposed to it. However, in 1962, the Friends of Rouen Monuments fought to have the insertion of the stained glass windows in the new church included in the specifications. The idea of creating a stained glass museum was rejected. The art historian Jean Lafond then made a new distribution of the stained glass windows: those that belonged to the original church before the reconstruction of the choir; those that came from other churches and had been reassembled in Saint-Vincent during the Revolution; finally, the series installed in the choir. This indivisible series would ultimately be reassembled in 1978 in the new church after new adventures. In 1972, the project finally chosen did not provide space for the insertion of the thirteen stained glass windows. The project was that of the architect Louis Arretche, Chief Architect of Civil Buildings and National Palaces and urban planner of the city of Rouen. The defenders of the stained glass windows, scandalized, put pressure on. The vice-president of the Friends of Rouen Monuments, Mrs. Néel-Soudais, at the head of a small group, the Friends of Rouen and Joan of Arc, persuaded the architect, through her powers of persuasion, to modify his plans. He agreed to sink the church two meters into the ground in order to give the north facade sufficient height for the stained glass windows. The thirteen stained glass windows were restored from 1975 to 1978 by the Gaudin workshop, and reassembled at Sainte-Jeanne d'Arc in the second half of 1978.
