Inscriptions Typed in ink on slip of paper placed behind photograph: Moravian Church, Bethlehem, Pa. where the Bach Festival is held annually and the belfrey from which the trumpeters play at the Christmas season. Bethlehem has become a great show-place for about a month and perhaps after New Years, - for about a month before Christmas, with special lighting and a great electric star which can be seen for miles. Taken by A. Thomas Nelson, 1921 to 1926 when on a trip (I believe, to Wilkes-Barre for the Board of Home Missions & Church Extension of the M.E. Church.)
