A look back at another snowy day, this one in December, when it the Downtown Dayton Parishes held a Live Nativity in the parking lot of Holy Trinity Church. Children portraying the people in the Nativity story bundled up against temperatures in the 20s, but the live animals (including the camels) enjoyed the snow.
