The Parish Priest's Christmas
About The Parish Priest's Christmas
On Christmas Eve a parish priest wants a statue of the infant Jesus for the church Nativity. The congregation cannot pay the dealer's price. After they pray, angels and the Virgin appear and leave them a statue. Alice Guy directed the short. The archive title is Le Noël de monsieur le curé.
