THE MIRACLE OF LYDDA
St George Weeps In His Tomb
By A Special Correspondent
Lydda, Aug. 16.
A series of incidents which have become known here as the “miracle of Lydda” have led . · to a belief among the local population that Saint George, patron Saint of England, is restive in his grave under the Greek Orthodox church bearing his name.
The church is situated on the site where, tradition has it, St George is said to have slain the dragon as it was about to devour a princess.
Scores of worshippers witnessed the strange incidents which took place during July in the amull conical-shaped crypt containing the tomb of St George.
Police are already taking a census of prostitutes and have placed the provisional figure at 504 out of a population of nearly 750,000. This figure, according to the Independent English guaranteed. Air condoned a language newspaper, the Nation, which was quoting "veteran Rangoon taxi and trishaw drivers,'
