Stake attention in this memory
The video shows two framed images hanging on a white wall. The image on the left is a painting titled "THE HISTORICAL AGIA TREE." The painting depicts a large tree overshadowing a road lined with people and what appear to be market stalls. The caption below states that under this tree, Christianity was first proclaimed in Nigeria in September 1842, and the first Christmas was celebrated in December 1843. The image on the right is a photograph of a monument titled "THE AGIA TREE MONUMENT." The caption below states that Reverend Thomas Birch Freeman, a Weslyan missionary, first preached Christianity in Nigeria under the Agia tree on the 24th of September 1842. The first Christmas service was jointly held under the tree by both the Anglican and Wesleyan missionaries led by Rev. Henry Townsend and Rev. Birch Freeman respectively on the 25th of December 1842. The tree fell on the 20th of June 1958 and was replaced with a monument.
