Christmas Tree lights up Broadway
The 35-foot spruce tree stood tall at the end of Broadway last week , commemorating the start of the 2017 Christmas season .
“ It ’ s a symbol of unity , it ’ s a symbol of mercy ,” said pastor Jesse Howard of Cross International Ministries . “ It ’ s a symbol of grace , it ’ s a symbol of peace , it ’ s a symbol of camaraderie for each and every person in the City of Newburgh .”
A hundred or so people stood around the tree holding candles in the falling snow during the tree lighting last Friday . “ Ten , nine , eight , seven , six , five , four , three , two , one ,” they counted , and the tree lit up like , well , a Christmas tree . A
