DescriptionThe minister and choir stand in the front of a church that is decorated for Easter Sunday with banks of Easter lilies and a large cross. The minister stands at a pulpit or lecturn with an open book in front of him. The pipes of a large organ are on the front wall, flanked by an American flag and another flag. The organist is seated at the far right. The hymns for the day are listed on cross-shaped boards on either side. Electric lights hang from the ceiling.
