As the month winds down, it might be interesting to do a little visual retrospective of December at her sunniest and snowiest so far. Picturesque Beth Eden Chapel is a good subject for that. Here she is with dry feet on December 19.
Below, you’ll see her with snowy feet on December 5, after the month’s best snowstorm.
This Chapel is a historic church that was built in 1900 as a “Late Victorian” wooden structure. Although it was built by a Methodist congregation as the first church in the old Naskeag Village area, it has been nondenominational all of its years.
I’m aware of several churches named “Beth Eden,” but haven’t been able to find out why the name was chosen by them. Perhaps one of you knows. It appears to be the biblical name for Bit Adini, an Aramean kingdom that was captured by the Assyrians. (Images taken in Brooklin, Maine, on December 5 (snow) and 19, 2023.)
