This is a digital reproduction of images held in the private collection of George Harb.

The images were taken of a group of young men enjoying snowfall in Bethlehem on 2 Feburary 1957. Whilst snow is an uncommon occurrence, Bethlehem is subjected to a colder climate during the winter months due to its location as a hilltop town.

These images are part of the George Harb Photos collection, within the George Harb project of the Planet Bethlehem Archive.
