St. Paul’s Episcopal Church is one of the most picturesque settings in downtown Abbeville.
This year, you can hang it on your Christmas Tree.
In correlation with the annual Christmas Stroll, the city of Abbeville has released its official 2022 Christmas ornament, featuring St. Paul’s. The church is located at the corner of East Vermilion Street and North State Street.
“We have been doing this since 2003,” Abbeville Main Street Manager Charlene Beckett said of issuing the ornaments.
The Main Street Promotion Committee meets in the fall to decide on the Stroll Ornament.
“Our selection is always about historic buildings that means something to the community,” Beckett said. “We also have to take into consideration what will transfer to a smaller image.”
Local artist Jeannie Comeaux once again created the artwork for the ornament.
“She is a talented artist and always makes each ornament special,” Beckett said. “I really think we picked a winner this year!”
Ornaments can be purchased in Abbeville at Brasseux’s Hardware and the Depot. They are $18. Previous year’s ornaments are also available for purchase.
