But by day, Beit Sahour does not look like the quaint village I pictured -- the one with huge earthenware jars of oil, and donkey carts.
About the festival: A posting at Yahoo group green-travel: In Beit Sahour, the Palestinian Centre for Rapprochement between People and the Municipality of Beit Sahour have joined efforts to organize a three-day festival December 21 � 23, 2007, which will include the Annual Candle Procession for this year which will be held under the title "Light A Candle for a Just Peace" to affirm to all the world that what Palestinians need is a Just Peace a true peace that is based on retrieving the rights of those whose rights are violated. The town has a Web site, but there is nothing at all on the English version.
