"It is deep down in my heart to tell all you students out there that one night of fun and drunkenness is not worth it. Nowhere near it.

When I was in college, I journeyed to Cologne, Germany and visited the city's glorious cathedral. I was a Protestant at the time, but I remember being amazed that people had been building this cathedral for so many centuries. It is one of the greatest Gothic churches of all time.

A CHRISTMAS TRADITION IN ROME: THE STREET CLEANERS NATIVITY SCENEA must-visit presepe or nativity scene is that built by Rome’s Netturbini or street cleaners of AMA, the municipal waste management company.

Other visitors have included Pope Benedict XVI, Mother Teresa of Calcutta and a succession of Rome’s mayors and Italian...

Imagine the frightening situation they faced since Mary, who was expecting a child, probably had been experiencing birth pains for the last 10 miles of their 80 mile journey.

This was not exactly the place Joseph expected...
