The Nativity scene shown above was the entry of St. Mary's Church, Delaware, which won first
prize In the annual Christmas parade In Delaware. The float received fop honors in competition with
religous floats from five other Delaware County churches. Sharon Lafferty et left and Katherine
Kaple (right) knelt before the Nativity scene during the parade. Sponsored by the Junior Chamber
of Commerce, the spectacle was viewed by more than 300 persons.
Slav Prison
TRIESTE INC}— “Standing on the threshold of death,
I where men do not speak untruths, I swear that the accusations
I made against me during the trial were lies .”
I These are the words of a priest who was sentenced last
I October to die by hanging after a communist court in Yugo
I slavia had found him guilty of “political crimes.”
They are quoted from a series
I
when witnesses "gave deliberately
false evidence against me.”
Only a little while before, the
Franciscan superior had delivered
a speech from the dock in which
he had denounced as “a very palpa
ble invention” the charge that he
had "personally taken part in the
massacre of the Serbs in the vil
lage of Grabovac.” The Croats are
virtually all Catholics, while the
vast majority of the Serbs belong
to the dissident Orthodox Church.
Recalling that at that time (1941)
he had occupied the post of head
of the village administration, and
had actually saved the lives of
many Serbs, the priest told the
court:
"I solemnly declare before you,
venerable People’s judges, that the
whole accusation against me is
false. My whole life, which has
been devoted to God and the
Church, testifies that I am inno
cent. During the trial I have re
ferred to more than 20 people who
should be called as witnesses. Not
one of those who have known me
for any length of time believes this
villainous lie ... I repeat I did
not participate in the killing of
the Serbs, neither did I instigate
anybody to such an action. Some
of these Serbs whose lives I have
saved in giving them shelter in my
house, and who fought later as
Chetniks, made written statements
thanking me when we parted.”
The tone of Father Marijan’s
notes indicates that he was in dai
ly, if not hourly, anticipation of be
ing taken to the place of execu
tion.
“So far as I myself am concern
ed,” he wrote in one note, "I have
no anxiety. If I must die, I shall
meet my death in the faith of the
early Christian martyrs. And, in
deed, I am not so lonely as some
body might think I am preparing
for my end by daily conversation
with God.”
Again, in a note presumably ad
dressed to his mother, Father Mari
jan wrote:
“The die is cast. I have a few
days more in this world to prepare
for the bitter journey before me
Now, in this solemn hour,
when the transitory character of
all things earthly is made clear to
me, when the past lies before me
like an open book, all the events
of the days gone by rush in upon
me and make it hard for me to
take farewell.”
In a note addressed to a Father
Martin. O.F.M., Father Marijan de
clared: “I am sorry that I was not
allowed to make my last confession
and to receive the consolation of
my Faith at the hands of a priest.
I am ready, however, to step be
fore the tribunal of my Lord and
Creator.”

The Feast of the Week
The first day of the year has
special meaning for a Catholic be
cause it is the day that commem
orates the official naming of the
Infant Savior. It was at His Cir
cumcision that He was publicly
given the name Jesus. If you do
all your work this year in the
Holy Name, you can feel quite sure
that it will all be to your credit
at the end of your life. Of course,
you won’t dare do anything un
worthy of your dedication that
way. It sounds like a smart deal.

smart idea, and I hope your family

ly Holy Hour was started last year

Some people (about fourteen

by the time they are supposed to
go to sleep for the night that they
have to swallow a sleeping pill to

too. Perhaps we ought be a bit
