I wish a very Merry Christmas for all of you from 200 Years in Paradise. Christmas is a time for family and no one understands that better than those of us who spend the whole year thinking about family, genealogists and Family Historians.
For Christmas this year, I wanted to post a picture of Christmas in St Croix, but I have very few of them. I assume that there are very few pictures that look like Christmas since decorations were typically indoors and I don’t think my grandfather had a flash in the early days. Nearly all of my photos are outside. I did run across this picture, a nativity scene in a church. While there is no indication on the photo of where or when the picture was taken, I think it’s probably Holy Cross Catholic Church.
While I was looking, I found this picture. From the railing, it may be the same church. I’m not sure it is a Christmas picture, but it could be. Does anyone recognize the church? Is it a Christmas picture? I’d love any information at all.
Dave,
ReplyDeleteI'm not a Catholic, but it looks more like this Catholic holiday:

Could very well be. Mary seems to be the focus. I thought Immaculate conception first, but couldn't tell. Thanks for the pointer.
