Bethlehem is situated on two hills and is 2361 feet above the level of the sea.

The western hill is the Bethlehem of Scripture, while on the eastern elevation is situated the Basilica of the Nativity erected over the grotto. We may imagine that the Blessed Virgin and St Joseph, there being “no room at the inn”, left the town and came to a cave or stable on the eastern hill, which served as a place of refuge for shepherds and their flocks against the inclemency of the weather.

From the earliest times, ecclesiastical writers bear witness to this tradition. St Justin who died in 165, said “Having failed to find any lodging in the town, Joseph sought shelter in a neighbouring cavern of Bethlehem” (Dialogue with Trypho 70).

About half a century later, Origen wrote “If anyone desires to satisfy himself without appealing to the prophecy of Micheas, or to the history of Christ as written by his disciples, that Jesus was

Pastoral Letter and Church Meetings born in Bethlehem, let him know that, in accordance with the gospel narrative, at Bethlehem is shown the grotto where he first saw the light.” (Against Celsus I.51).

Devotion to the crib is of ancient origin, but it remained to St Francis of Assisi to popularise it and to give to it the form which is known at the present time. St Francis arrived at Greccio on Christmas Eve, when, with the aid of his friend Giovanni Velita, he constructed a crib and grouped around it figures of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St Joseph, the ass, the ox, and the shepherds who had come to adore the new born infant. The legend relates that after having sung the words of the gospel, he knelt down to meditate on the sublime mystery of the birth of Jesus, and there appeared in his arms a child surrounded by a brilliant light.

A painting by Giotto representing St Francis celebrating Christmas in Greccio is preserved in the Basilica of

St Francis in Assisi. After his death in 1226, the custom of having the crib at Christmas spread widely through Europe.

The simple celebration was not the first time the birth of Jesus was celebrated in a dramatic way, but Francis brought to the scene a vision that saw more than the pleasant tableau we now have.

He wanted to show the hardships Jesus suffered already as an infant. In the daring phrase of St. Paul, he saw the emptying of the glory of the Son of God, born of a gentle mother but still thrown upon a stony and resisting world.

In St Thomas Church in Keith, we construct a crib after the same Franciscan tradition, and you are are very welcome to come and see it. The Church is open from early morning till 4pm every day.

Culloden Battlefield

SpotLight Local Interest

The 16th April 1746 is a date which has been etched deeply into the annals of this nation’s history due to the battle of Culloden and the far-reaching effects of its aftermath. Essentially the battle of Culloden was to end the possibility of restoring the Stuart household to the thrones of England and Scotland after a long period of risings which had begun with the deposition of James VII and II in 1689. The roots of this struggle between the Stuart and Hanoverian dynasties were steeped in religious and ideological differences.

The battle lasted no more than an hour and saw the army of approximately 5-7,000 Jacobite soldiers robustly beaten by the 10,000 Government troops. It is estimated that 1,500 Jacobites were left dead compared to the 50 Government losses in the hour of battle. In terms of global conflict history, these are by no means a large number of losses or, indeed, even a large battle. It is perhaps due to the immediate aftermath of the battle that it has come to have such an extraordinary connection in Scottish history. To this day the battle still evokes strong emotions in many visitors and conjures strong support for Gaelic culture, which was irrevocably changed by the systematic ‘Pacification of the Highlands’ by the Hanoverian Government.

Scottish Tourist Board 5 Star Visitor Attraction.

The project was funded by a wide variety of benefactors and, with backing from the Scottish Government, the European Union, Highlands and Islands Enterprise and Bòrd na Gàidhlig, as well as other generous donations from various trusts and sponsors. As well as these, donations were made by individuals; including many National Trust for Scotland members; and fund-raising projects were also set up which saw a large amount of support from Scottish descendants all over the globe. This gave the opportunity for inscribed stones and ceiling names to be displayed at the centre in exchange for donations to the Memorial Project.

The visitor to the centre will be able to experience an incredible journey through the 1745 rising. The story is told through a plethora of interactive media. Highlights of this include: The ‘Character Stations’, which give the visitor first hand accounts of the key events; ‘Campaign Tables’, which show the movements of both armies during the campaign.

Most notable are the four minute ‘Battle Immersion Film’, which puts the visitor right at the heart of the hand to hand fighting, giving the visitor a shock of emotions to bring the style of fighting and the ferocity of the battle to life; and the ‘Battle Table’, which shows the battle happening from an aerial viewpoint, clearly showing the movement of regiments and the tactical decisions that were made to create the outcome.

As well as the modernistic use of museum technology there is a remarkable collection of weaponry and objects on show, and alongside this the costumed Living History presentations will be guaranteed to bring the story of Culloden to life. Having experienced all of this, the visitor can also take a handheld GPS guide onto the battlefield itself, giving them information at various points as they see for themselves the place where this infamous event took place.

Today, Culloden Battlefield is owned and cared for by Scotland’s leading conservation charity, The National Trust for Scotland. The Trust depends on membership, donations and revenue raised at the properties to protect, maintain and provide education and enjoyment at over a hundred unique and amazing sites throughout Scotland. At Culloden, the site is also a war grave and memorial to the fallen on both sides.

The visitor centre also boasts a well stocked shop which is famed for its excellent collection of books, a fully licensed restaurant and spacious rooms for corporate hire. More information on this and upcoming events, as well as opening times, can be found on the property website at www.nts.org.uk/culloden or by phoning 0844 493 2159.

Commemoration of such an event is of the upmost importance to the National Trust for Scotland. In December 2007 the Culloden Battlefield Memorial Project was successful in creating a state-of-the-art £9.6 million visitor centre as a memorial to the events that occurred on the bleak moor, just 5 miles east of Inverness. The Battlefield Visitor Centre is widely regarded as one of the best in the world and has already received many awards; most notably becoming a

Guinea Fowl With Winter Vegetable And Pearl Barley Broth

Chef’s Confidential

Now that the clocks have been turned back and the last of the leaves have blown from the trees, I think that we may be in for a long winter, so for those cosy nights in, here’s a nice winter warmer for you all. Guinea Fowl (supplied by Macbeths of Forres) is an underused bird in my opinion. It has the taste and flavour of somewhere between chicken and turkey and I think, that we all like one or the other.

Ingredients - Serves Two 100 grams pearl barley 2 pints of chicken or vegetable stock ½ a Leek 1 large carrot ¼ turnip ½ an onion 8-12 baby potatoes 2 guinea fowl breasts For the Broth Cover and soak your pearl barley overnight so it absorbs some of the water which will make it easier to cook the next day.

Drain the water from the barley and bring to the boil and then simmer with one pint of your chicken stock until soft and edible; if the liquid reduces, more water can be added at any time.

Once the barley is soft and edible drain of the stock and put aside.

For the vegetables Cut your leeks into inch-long rounds and fry gently in some vegetable oil until they are nicely coloured and soft, then put aside.

Peel and cut your carrot and turnip then put into boiling water with a touch of salt and cook until soft. Take out of water and run under cold water until cool then put aside.

Slice onion and sweat off in vegetable oil with salt until soft, keeping it as white as possible by adjusting your heat when needed, then put aside.

Boil your potatoes in salted water until ready (roughly 10-15 mins) cool down with running cold water and put aside.

To prepare the Guinea Fowl Put on a chopping board (preferably one you always use for raw meat) - you can take the bone and skin off if you want but I prefer them on. Remove any excess skin or gristle with a sharp knife, season lightly with salt (maldon salt is better and more natural than table salt)

Put a splash of vegetable oil into a non stick pan, put Guinea Fowl into the oil when pan is cold (this may go against what you have been told before but it is so the skin of the bird doesn’t blister and you get an all over better golden colour - believe me, I thought the Chef was crazy when I was shown this!) Gently heat the pan and once the skin is golden and crispy, turn over to the flesh side for 3-4 mins. Take out of frying pan and put onto an oven tray and cook at 180c for 812 mins or, if you have a temperature probe it should be over 73c, however not much more or your meat will become dry.

To put dish together, put all vegetables, potatoes and barley into your chicken stock and heat until nice and hot then divide between two bowls (giving more to the cook of course!) then place the cooked Guinea Fowl on top. I have garnished mine with pea shoots (from Spey Fruit of Elgin).

I hope this will keep your cockles warm and your feet toastie!

We look forward to seeing you during December @ Knockomie and wish you a very Happy Festive Season and a Good New Year. Look out for Knockomie's fireworks at Hogmanay!

EXTRACTS FROM THE RATIFIED MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF 4TH OCTOBER 2010 OF KEITH COMMUNITY COUNCIL

Police Matters • Tonight we had Sergeant Black in attendance with PC Carmichael. They gave an overview on the crime in the Keith area. Anti social driving - there will be another campaign in October.

There is a lot of shop lifting in Keith mostly in the younger age group.

Licensed premises in Keith are to be visited to make sure they are abiding to the licensing law.

• CL spoke of the parking of vehicles in Seafield Avenue too near to the A96 junction. Chivas lorries are having problems negotiating the turn in. Yellow lines are suggested. SC will look into this.

• Yellow lines were suggested for a number of areas including outside St Rufus manse. There is a problem with cars parking on Sunday mornings Service bus has to cross the road to get past parked cars which are parked too near to the island in the middle of the road. Lorries and tractors with trailers are also finding it hard to get past. The police will speak to the St Rufus ministers.

• Bridge Street was mentioned - there will be a change in the road layout when Keith Builders move into their premises Other areas were identified as having cars parked too close to junctions. You would have to put down yellow lines on all the roads. Residents would not be happy but if they showed a bit more consideration this would not have to happen. Cars parked on the pavement were another problem They should be reported at the time and the police would attend.

Presentation Dougie McPhee from Moray Council gave a presentation. Dougie is involved with a youth group called KERBS Keith Roller Bladers and Skateboarders. They set up the skatepark in the Cuthil in 2000 with it being the first skatepark in Moray. Membership was initially for youngsters in the Cuthil area and they paid a yearly membership of £1. There have been no new members for the last three years. There is a balance in their bank account.

Hopefully a meeting can be set up in November so that the constitution can be changed as there are no original members on the committee. There needs to be five new members to change this. The park is used a lot at the moment and it was hoped to get some funding to upgrade this park. JM mentioned where there might be funding available- Bad Boys Fund.

Moray Council won’t take on the running of the facility. It will be up to the youngsters to take on the responsibility.

The original BMX track in Fife - Keith has been condemned by Health and Safety from Moray Council. A newsletter was suggested to go out to schools and groups where children may be interested in the group. Dougie McPhee can be contacted on 885517 where he will be pleased to speak to anyone wishing to come on board the group. If the extravaganza goes ahead the group could do a display. Dougie will come back to another meeting to update us on how the group is progressing. JM thanked Dougie and the police for attending tonight`s meeting.

CoMMunity CounCil ContACts Keith Community Council: meets first Monday of each month (excluding January and August) 7pm at Keith Community Centre. Contact: Diane Halley page 14 - December 2010

Matters Arising The tree in Keith Square has been taken down.

• The Falls Of Tarnash road has been reported.

• The Milton Lodge problem has been seen to and the sand boxes have been fixed.

• Old Bridge has been reported and Steps up to the hospital are to be attended to.

• Lights on Union Bridge - there is a major wiring problem which BEAR will attend to.

There is a company who are advertising on the internet for staff for a new store in Keith.

• The railway fence - the railway staff are aware of the problem.

• There is a lot of water gathering at the bottom of the Earslsmount entrance and also on the pavement outside the North Church.

Correspondence • CC said that there needed to be a better attendance for the JCC meetings in Elgin. CC said she would happily attend as did IC and CL. • There is to be another consultation on the budget cuts in Moray. JM said that NO was not an option to attend the meetings for KCC members. She requested a full attendance to the meeting on 2nd November in the Longmore Hall. JM will discuss with Rhona Patterson the forth coming meeting. Our reply goes back after the meeting.

“ Parliament Blog ” While generally avoiding hard-nosed politics in this column it is really impossible this month not to speak about the impact of the Strategic Defence Review on Moray and the efforts being put in by politicians of all parties and none, public agencies and, crucially, the combined people power of the civilian and service communities to back our local bases.

That people power was demonstrated with a huge turnout at the march and rally in Lossiemouth, sending a clear and unequivocal message to Westminster. For my own part I have tabled questions in parliament on both Kinloss and Lossiemouth and pressed the Prime Minister, Defence Secretary and other Ministers on this critical issue on numerous occasions. With this combined effort from many, many people a powerful case is being made. The Coalition Government can be in no doubt of that resolve.

In recent weeks the Kinloss and Forres area has been dealt a heavy blow following the announcement by the Conservative/Lib Dem Coalition Government of the cancellation of Nimrod. With the additional huge uncertainty over the future of RAF Lossiemouth the economic and social impacts on Moray are severe.

It has been fantastic to see the positive way in which the communities have rallied together through sites on Facebook and the march and rally in Lossiemouth, which was an amazing piece of organisation by the community in a

very short space of time. I was very proud to join so many people and looking out from the podium at the massed ranks people determined to show their support was a humbling experience.

Moray has picked up the gauntlet and is taking the fight for our communities straight to the top.
