Description: The only Hannah Hall mural in a pointillist style, it was partly destroyed during renovations. Edwards returned to repaint it. Perhaps because of the time demands of the pointillist technique, the repainted left side is less detailed than the right. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph are painted in abstract forms.
