This Christmas, The Shopping News is showcasing the photography of our very own Donald Reese. While we are lucky enough to be blessed with his talent year round, his creative use of lighting adds an extra bit of magic to his artwork this time of year. The front covers of both sections in this issue feature scenes captured in recent years throughout our local area. Shown in the photos: (Above) Moravian Stars and batteryoperated lighting illuminate the Pinetown Covered Bridge. (Right) Lampposts reflect on an icy winter night at the Ephrata Cloister. (Below) Holiday decorations adorn the former St. Paul’s Lutheran Church on Broad Street in Lititz. (Bottom Right) A life-size nativity located in a stable near Intercourse reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas
