Children's nativity scene, c. 1920

Title

Subject

Christmas

Description

This photograph depicts the children of the church in costume portraying the various characters involved in the nativity: shepherds, wise men, Mary, Joseph, and the angels. A young boy plays the violin. Pastor John Hookway and his wife are standing at the right of the photo. There is a large Christmas tree behind the group.

This photo was taken in the old Sunday School Building's main room (later the Men's Classroom, then the Prayer Meeting Room, now the Welcome Room) before the various walls were built to enclose the balcony areas above and below. Because of this, the date is estimated to be around 1920.
