This article appeared in the Nashville Banner newspaper with similar photographs on December 3, 1956: "Nashvillians by the thousands took part in a pilgrimage Sunday night - drawn to Centennial Park by the beauty of the Nativity Scene … approximately 10,000 people stood on the wide lawn before and at the sides of the display or remained in cars parked in every space. Automobiles turning into roads bringing them to and before the scene, created with their slow-moving headlights the effect of a gigantic candlelight service." Forms part of the Nashville Banner Archives. 1 photograph negative : b & w ; 3.25 x 4.25 in.
