STREET IN BETHLEHEM NAMED AFTER JOHN PAUL II
BETHLEHEM, MAR 14 (ZENIT.org).- A street in Bethlehem will be named
after John Paul II, in honor of his forthcoming visit to the Palestinian
city of Jesus' birth.
"We are ready for the great day of the Pope's arrival. The City Council
decided that an important street of our city will be named after John
Paul II, who within a few days will honor us with his visit," Hana
Nasser, mayor of Bethlehem, said to "Al-Quds" newspaper of East
Jerusalem.
Bethlehem already has a street named after Paul VI, who visited this
city and the Holy Land 36 years ago.
