Lamps hang in a long row above the nave here, and a large silver star sits near the altar, marking this as a church decorated for the Christmas season. Ornate interiors like this were common in European and American churches in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when congregations spent heavily on carved woodwork, painted ceilings and metalwork for major feast days. Candles and lamps were the main light source for evening services, so the hanging fixtures would have been lit for the celebrations. Notice how the decorations draw the eye upward toward the altar, a deliberate effect that was central to the design of churches of this period.
