Title: Muscum Cancel XMAS in Nazareth, Jesus Home
Post by: Solar on December 14, 2017, 05:24:43 PM
According to The Times of Israel:

Nazareth is one of the holiest cities in Christendom because it was there that the angel Gabriel is believed by Christians to have told the Virgin Mary she would conceive and bear Jesus.

According to the New Testament, Jesus also grew up in the town.

The annual celebrations are a major tourist draw and source of income for the city, which is inhabited primarily by Arab citizens of Israel, two-thirds of whom are Muslim and the remaining third Christian.

And while Salem promised to "cancel festivities this year," a city spokesman later clarified to Reuters that it is only canceling some parts of the Christmas celebrations, while the town's market stalls and traditional Christmas church services will continue.

"We have decided to cancel the traditional Christmas singing and dancing because we are in a time of dispute, because of what Trump has said about Jerusalem," spokesman Salem Sharara told the news service.

A statement from Nazareth officials published by The Jerusalem Post explained the city really can't afford to totally shut down for Christmas because it would devastate the city's "commercial interests."

"The cancelation only applies to artistic performances on stages," the statement read. "Christmas season in Nazareth is the season of good and blessing and we are completely vigilant that commercial interests won't be damaged."

The cancelation in Nazareth also follows a Christmas protest in Bethlehem over Trump's Jerusalem decision.

The birthplace of Jesus cut the lights on the Christmas tree outside of the city's Church of the Nativity on Wednesday send a message.

"The Christmas tree was switched off on the order or the mayor today in protest at Trump's decision," Bethlehem media officer Fady Ghattas told Reuters.

It remains unclear when or if the lights will come back on, or whether the city plans to put the kibosh on other Christmas festivities, as well.
