Description
Photograph of the Kokai congregation in their chapel on Christmas Eve, 1939. Women and girls, many wearing white veils, kneel on the right hand side of the chapel. Men and boys kneel on the left hand side. In the center of the chapel, behind a bare lightbulb that hangs from the ceiling, is a small furnace that is vented out one of the windows. Behind the group, the altar area is decorated for Christmas with three trees.
