Christmas in a Small Town 4 / by Dave Hileman

This is a beautiful church building in Onancock, Virginia. The bell tower is of particular interest. It is painted as a homage to the lighthouse that once stood nearby and the proportions are elegant. Plus it has a window in the bottom, most unusual. In the window you can view a Christmas tree decorated with Chrismons, ornaments that are symbols of Christian faith. The church was built in 1896 and has stunning stained glass windows. The 125 year-old church is worth a stop on your way to downtown.
