JOHNSTOWN — Pews were lined with the young and old on Sunday evening when First Presbyterian Church collected a full concert worth of local church choirs and their holiday hymns.

Sunday was the final evening in a three-night showing, featuring a landscape of Nativity scene crafts on display during the concert. Set pieces from Germany, Italy and Israel could be marveled at while familiar carols from the stage echoed through speakers in the display hall.

A night of song and reverence - in a porcelain wonderland you can see for yourself below. See more video from around Johnstown at our multimedia page.
