Three men are standing at the front of a church. They are visible from waist up, positioned side by side, each holding a book. The man on the left has a bald head and a trimmed gray beard, wearing a pinstripe suit with a red pocket square and two red boutonnieres. The central man has short hair and a close-cropped beard, wearing glasses, a striped tie, and a dark pinstripe suit. The man on the right has short hair, a thin mustache, and is dressed in a gray suit with a dark turtleneck. Two more men are in the background; one standing behind a pulpit wearing eyeglasses and another at a lectern, both in dark suits. The setting includes a Christmas tree, an altar, a large cross, and a painting of Jesus. The pews have red cushions, and a few people can be seen seated and standing around.
