Churches and other places of worship can be majestic at this time of year.
The glistening snow and colourful lights complement their unique architecture, giving them an aura unlike any other time of the year.
And inside, of course, they fill up more than usual as people celebrate the season and reflect on their spirituality.
Islanders have taken the opportunity to share photos of their favourite churches this season.
