While millions of Americans travel to gather with family and friends or wait for relatives to arrive in order to ring in the Christmas holiday, there are thousands of Bostonians who spent Christmas Eve away from loved ones and in a homeless shelter.It’s the exact same position into which Jesus Christ was born, Cardinal Seán Patrick O’Malley said Sunday before he went into the Pine Street Inn‘s Harrison Avenue location to feed the hundreds of men and women without anywhere else to go on Christmas.“Christmas time, of course, is a very symbolic time. Our savior was born in homelessness: there was no room at the inn in Bethlehem. Thank god, there is always room at the Pine Street Inn,” O’Malley said.According to volunteers at the Inn, they will provide over 1,000 meals to their various properties this holiday season. For many, this year’s dinner of lasagna al forno, Caesar salad, fresh baked garlic bread, and assorted pies, may be the only meal they will get to enjoy i...

Security forces looked on in what appeared to be a repeat of past tactics when authorities waited for the marchers to tire out and then offered them a form of temporary legal status that is used by many to contin...
