Silent Night

 It has been my tradition for Christmas Day to feature churches. This is St. Matthew's Anglican Church in the Glebe, taken in late November, with Christmas lights strung up towards the main entrance.


I was passing again through the Glebe after a December snowfall, and took these two shots of Fourth Avenue Baptist Church.


Just up the street is St. Giles Presbyterian Church.


And here's a look at St. Matthew's in snowy conditions.


Taken during the day, here we see Glebe-St. James United Church, a short walk away.


One afternoon I passed by St. Peter's Lutheran Church, located downtown.


Nearby, and across the street from the Supreme Court, is St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church.


Lastly, this one was taken yesterday afternoon. This is St. Peter and St. Paul's, an Anglican church in the downtown core.

    1. There was another church I meant to get to yesterday, but that last one suited me, and time was a premium.
