HEDER. The Tower of Heder. St. Jerom observes, that the place, where the Angels declared the birth of Jesus Christ to the Shepherds, was called by this name; Luke ii. 8, 9. The Empress Helena is said to have built a Church upon that very spot, the remains whereof are still visible. See Micah iv. 8. Turris gregis.
