Old Brick Church / Candlelight Services / On Christmas Eve, the old brick church begins to fill with / families, as the sound from the bell tower calls the faithful / to gather by candlelight. Reminiscent of the great monasteries / of Europe in the Middle Ages, the Romanesque Revival style / was popular from the late Victorian Era into the 1920s. Rounded / arches, horizontal belt courses, and a weighty, somber heft / distinguish the Romanesque from the Gothic Revival style. / Such a stately church not only commands a neighborhood-- / it stands unchanging as time goes by, speaking reverently of / things eternal--like Christmas itself. / Each of the churches in this series represents / a style of architecture from a different time / period, location, or tradition. / Tracy Larsen / Hallmark Keepsake Artist / Use only with standard UL, cUL, or CSA listed or certified / miniature of light strings using ush-in bulbs, having / multiples of 35 bulbs or 50 bulbs in series. / Electrical rating 6 volts, 1.2 watts. / Not for use with blinking lights. / For indoor use only. / Complete display instructions enclosed. / Limited Warranty statement enclosed. / C UL(R) US / LISTED / ELECTRIC / ORNAMENT / Twelfth and Final in the Series.
